how hard was relocating the climate controls. i was thinking of doing the same thing...and what size guages are those...52mm?

wow thats beautiful... I was thinking about placeing them there, Im mid installation, but im going right under the cd player since i measured that slot and determined it'd be crazy hard to fabricate a slot big enough for them... the bezel i made in place of the lil cd tray was a perfect fitment, hmm i dunno i may have to reconsider

Nice stuff they got there on that site!

They are 52mm gauges, but there appears to be enough room for 60mm...

As far as the climate control...

First, the wiring will reach, you just have to cut one zip-tie like thingy...

Second...Mounting the actual control unit is tricky...I used double sided tape, and attached it to the bottom of my stereo...its not pretty, but it works. There is really nowhere to "screw" it in...So I used black tape to make it solid...kinda of ghetto, but it worked.

Lastly, you have to "widen" the bottom bezel, as the controls are a bit wider. I have a custom bottom piece coming for that section.

Oh yea, since I got rid of the cigarette lighter, and ash tray light, I used these power sources for the gauges...fairly convenient...if you don't smoke.
