    Looks great, but the center a/c vents is a much much (much) better place for it.

        Seeing as you have no stereo, why not there?

          The headunit wasn't installed at that time.

              Looks like a nice pod, But bad place imo. How often do you accidentally kick the shit out of your speaker in the kick panel? It looks like it sticks really far out.

                That's awsome! ;)

                I also love how you made the seat a fold down.
                Are the red lines in that picture were the reinforcements are?

                The pod is just awsome; unlike flat panel, it faces the driver.

                    Those gauges are not meant to be looked at as much as your tachometer or speedometer. They are really only meant for detecting a problem with the motor or to help diagnosing the motors problems, so I don't see what the big deal is if you can't see them 24/7 while your drving.

                          Well I don't have spasms....so normally I don't kick anything in the car, haha, actually I am very use to having kick panel, my last car I had for about 5 years with kicks and never had a problem.....you just get use to them being there.
