I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

To install, or not to install.....

Post by spdyslvrEX » January 14, 2007

So, I have decided to relocate my stereo like I had mentioned in the last thread. I might have found a guy to do my fiberglass work. If not I am just going to fabricate soemthing out of a mixture of wood and paint or the CF fabric stuff. Now that I am doing this, there will be a big gaping hole in my dash where my stereo used to be. Do I:
a) leave as is (the big gaping hole)
b) throw in a couple guages (keep in mind I am basically all stock)
c) put in some kind of light with a design to come on when my amp comes on
d) put a lighted honda emblem for a red line indicator?

I know some of those options are kind of cheesy but hey, why not? I know I could go with a TV but I really dont have the money for one nor is my head unit a DVD player...So tell me what you guys think....

hows come you want to re-locate in the first place? i thought u wanted to relocate because you had something to put up above. if i were you i would leave it alone keep it clean looking untill you have something to fill the void.

thats just me though.

The problem is because of the slant that honda put on the dash, I cant see my radio display during the day. Ive thought about just tinting the windows, but Mississippi has tint laws, and I am as dark as I can get.

If you're going to move it just make a blockoff for up top. Will give you a place to mount gauges later.
