[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 12224366, member: 7060"] That's cool! I thought about mounting a gauge (or two) in one of the extra DIN slots. The separate DIN openings for the 94-00 cars vs. the double DIN for the 01-04 cars both have their pros and cons. With the earlier cars, you can do things like mount a CD player without an install kit and have a whole extra space to mount gauges. You can even swap spaces and mount the CD player on the bottom and the gauges on top, or vise versa. If you install an aftermarket CD player with an install kit on the later cars, there isn't enough room to mount gauges. But, if you're a fan of an aftermarket navigation system, it looks real nice in that double DIN opening. I found a single DIN gauge mounting plate that fits 3 gauges but the cool thing is that it tilts them toward the driver.
