Are you guys trying to get into the cubby behind the radio screen?
Pull the center console.
Pull the bracket between the center console and the bottom of the AC/radio unit.
Pull the passenger grab handle trim.
Pull the driver side sill trim
Pull the trim piece under the steering wheel.
Pull the dash trim that goes from the driver side rearview mirror over the gauges, and down to the passenger grab handle.
Pull the trim piece that goes around the gauges and in front of the radio including the starter button, etc.
Pull the radio/ac unit out.
not much room back there to run wires though. i put my ntk afrm in the cubby and wish i hadnt because now i want to take it out and there is no way i am doing that again any time soon. id rather clean the inside of my rear diff with no gloves.

Well I mean... you need the telephoto macro on the full frame to really capture the effect and scope of the work involved, and it's dark in there so a few slaved SB-900s aren't a bad idea. Add a few 600w fill lights for effect and don't forget a good backdrop.

the gauges are (PLX Wide bands) & (PLX Vacuum/Boost) and can be ordered from PLX or Summit Racing or Jegs or maybe a Sponsor on here.
I used universal gauge pods and cut the contour to match the pillar, then epoxied them in place and covered them in black suede , witch was a pain in the ***, lol....
