This one is for a '95 honda civic...like the previous guy said. It required a LOT of trimming to make it fit though. I don't think there's any way around that though since they don't seem to make one for our cars.

Try an A4 Gauge Pod (Autometer, 2 Gauge Type) It fit my 1990 Jetta fine. Only had to trim very little on the windshield side of the pod. didn't have to heat and bend it......

Why are the levers to tilt the front seats forward towards teh inside of the car rather than near the doors?

Some had levers on both sides of each seat.

Same thing as everyone else said. It doesn't fit as good as it looks. If anyone knows of a better solution, I'm all ears!

ChrisDJ142- Who makes the din sized plate in your dash? I like very much the way they angle towards the driver...also, what size gauges?
thanks

i was told that EIP uses 88-91 crx guage pods. That's what i bought and it fits alright with a little dremel work.

I wonder how hard it would be to make something out of fiberglass? I think I'll look into it.

I ordered mine from SWG in the UK. It was pretty shoddy...but it still worked.
As for whoever asked about the seat flip-forward levers...mine has them on BOTH sides of each seat.
