    Question behind the dash

    im thinkin of mounting some gauges above the glove box on the dash. my question is, is there any precautions i should take? like if there is wiring or anything behind there, or can i just drill a hole without fucking anything up?

    What about under the dash, I know there is like a plastic box to the left and a couple more things. Whats under the glove box in the back. Maybe drilling to put a neon there.

    There is nothing behind the dash above the glovebox.

    Everything is behind the heater core and on the driver side bask to the radio. (well there is the glovebox light.....)

    if you only have the 2 gauges to mount. there is rumor that the gen 2 teg a pillar pod will fit the 3gee. At most you may need to warm it to for it a little more but if i remember right its a direct fit. It may have been the 88-91 civic also sorry dont remember
