hey I was wondering if there were any ideas out there for a mod to work with this... I was cleaning the interior of my firebird and I pulled on some vent tabs for defrost and broke 3 of them off. idiot.. but luckily they broke off kinda even so it formed a 1.75'' x 2'' hole guessing.. anyone have any mod ideas to turn this mishap into a cool or useful mod instead of me trying to expoxy them them back on or buy a new upper dash.. ehhh..

 

damn that sucks! could you mount a gauge up there or something, have it sticking out of the vent? thats all i can really think of, good luck man.

 

Throw a badge of your car in there!

 

i wonder if some kind of small air-freshener would fit in there. it would smell great everytime you turn on the fan lol

 

Yea. A flush mount air freshener would be effin sweet!

 

You could cover the dash in vinyl then when you cut out the vent holes just leave the vinyl strips and you wouldnt be able to tell.

 

Hud!!!

 

I'd mount a bracket to hold my phone there so when I used the navigation it would be eye line...

 

GPS antenna if you have it.

 

lol, all great ideas... hmmm the air freshener, hahaha your right it would smell great.. and I thought about the phone idea.. The badge would look sorta custom, just worried about it being in the sun all the time, and yea, if I eventually wrap my plastics, which I plan on sometime with the kit from 6litereater I think it was, I'll just cut the holes. Thanks for the great ideas, if anyone has anymore keep em commin lol

 

Dash mat??

 

Junk Yard Mod, thats were I found mine out of a wrecked SS. 20 Bucks.

 

My dash pad was busted to hell, an extreme version of your problem, so I pulled it and the thick heat pad and sound deadener out of there and threw on a nice thin carpet dash mat.
Weight reduction ftw!

 

Radar detector.

 

could do gps mount or you could mount a video camera
