where else to mount gauges on a 93-97 camaro !?
already got my A pillar filled with two 2 5/8" gauges .. fuel and N2O pressure .. i've been thinking about adding a coupla more gauges that i could make use for . like oil temp and maybe EGT
where else could i mount these gauges !? does anyone make a custom plate that covers the empty box next to the cigratte lighter ?!

There's an old replacement plate that covers that hole up so you can cut holes in it to mount more gauges, but I don't remember who carried it. I bought mine about a year ago and still haven't installed mine yet...

Yeah, I remember seeing a panel to cover up that hole next to the cigarette lighter. It was available solid so you could cut your own holes or with 2 holes already cut. I can't remember who carried it and didn't find it with a quick search either.

Well, gages would fit in the A/C holes in Firebirds. That's where Fred aka Injuneer has them. But yes, you could fabricate a cover for the tape storing (is it?) compartment. I've seen that setup on some cars and it looked nice.

I am fabricating 2 panels right now. 1 for the compartment next to the lighter w/ n2o switches and a wideband 02 readout and 1 for the cd player location w/ trans. temp. and oil press. gauges. (I also have n2o press. and fuel press. in the A-pillar. w/ a 5" monster tach on the left side of the dash.) I will post some pics when I am finished.

I've seen a plate made that held a small gauge in the AC vent in a camaro, looked pretty sweet actually. Lol, random thought, but maybe you could hang one above the rearview mirror from the headliner or something?
