Talking Series 4 Guage Panels finally done!!!

Well I know that it has been a long time but I finally got time to make them. I made 30 for now just to make sure they would sell before I go and make alot of them. I will be selling the first 30 for $45 each and then after that I will be selling them to an internet retailer that wants to sell them and will be more expensive. Its made out of 304 Stainless Steel and mounts to the stock stereo mounting hole locations. The holes are 2 1/16" which is perfect for Autometer guages and what ever other guage will fit that hole. I will have more pics in the next couple of days when they are completed. As of right now I know they fit the series 4 cars perfectly, im not sure about the series 5 cars if they are the same or not. I will be testing them on a series 5 car as soon as I can. If there are any questions please feel free to ask.***This will not fit cars equipt with a factory CD player***

Does the panel also accomodate a single DIN stereo? I notice that you have one there.

Make sure to tell whoever wants to buy one that they are for the non-CD surround. The factory CD one doesn't have the two small trim pieces, so the hole is wider.

PS- I have the same CD player in my Protege

Yes I forgot to mention that. It holds a DIN sized aftermaket headunit and the guages.

I found that out the hard way, my car came with a factory CD player and my old radio install kit didn't fit until I was able to get the two trim pieces.

I would also buy for a s5. And if anyone had a "beauty-ring"(the plastic peice that goes around the cd player) that fits a Sony cdx-ca700x head unit I would gladly buy it. Those basdards at Circuit City said they lost mine!

Im totally in for one of those if you can make it fit a S5. I may take one anyway, since im sure it won't take much to fab it up.

Yeah, what is that wheel called, I like it. Let us know about the S5. And what size guages can it hold?
