Ok guys i need some help. I have 3 60mm blitz blm gauges and a center console gauge pod. But i forget when i heard this but i heard that unlike the evo the rallairt has a metal bar behind the head unit area that makes it so you cant install the gauges. I was wondering if this is true because i want to isntall these gauge and this gauge pod, so if any one knows just help me out ok thansk guys. Oh i have a pic attatched of the gauge pod also.

You can always cut the bar out, after checking to see if it's doing anything important.

The gauges will fit unless they are very deep. I was able to (just) fit my Defi BF gauges.

My head unit will go into my cubby hole under the air knobes. I will have to do some sutting and custom work because my head unit is'nt stock so it wont fit exact.

nice look to the gauges, I'm still not sure if i want to relocated my radio down so far? I want the Mitsu gauges, but not certian if i want the gauges where the radio goes, i may just use the plate for the little pocket to mount the gauges.

Actually, after relocating the radio the volume control is just in front of my index finger when my had rest on the shifter, so it works out really well.

i have an auto with my Sportback, and i have a flip down face, so you can see the dilema, i like the look, again sweet install.

Hey Voidhawk, where did you get the a-pillar gauge pod? I like that color better than RRM's, its more factory looking. Also, how much was the radio cubby hole?
