you could get an air/fuel monitoring guage :shrug: if you wana turbo the car down the road you could use that slot for the boost guage or something too..

Don't hook those up. Cheap guages should be hidden or left at Canadian tire. You're better than that. Save up for a good mod or at least good guages. You can get some good AEM guages on ebay for ~ 150.00-200.00 ea. There is no point in doing mods if the mods aren't worth doing.

:D im glad you guys like it..the ashtray is just stock, i just removed the badges from the hatch and glued the one onto the front..ive been debating on paintin the glove box too..it just doesnt look complete without it i think :shrug: ..oh and i also painted the little bracket that wraps around the cdplayer, its black in the pictures above, but it makes it look even better..its all about the details :welder:
