Default HUD help

I know there are a million HUD posts sadly I can't find the 1 I need. I am looking to find where I can cut the hole for the hud in the dash. I have a 98 non hud. I have all the right parts I just don't know where exactly I need to cut the dash to place the hud in. Anyone know?

With an X-Acto Knife.

Follow the lines that SPEED750 mentioned on the underside of your dash board and cut very carefully.

Good luck... GUSTO

Thanks for the info but I knew that much. Did alot of research on it. Thanks anyway though. Now I need to cut my dash open. That's what I'm working on figuring out is the best way. Can't go back once I start

Remember: Measure 14 times, CUT ONCE. Don't choke.

No pressure.
