You really don’t have to cut anything. Just pop the vent out…separate it…pop out the 2 bottom slats and sand a spot thick enough to pass the ribbon cable through. When you put the vent back together put a bit of double sided tape on the back side and it’s a press fit after that. Doing it right looks much better.

didn’t even need to sand the cable passed through just fine. If you have the carbon fiber overlay it snugs right it

I used a Dremel to cut the universal gauge…not the vent. The gauge goes inside the vent…not on the outside.

Cool but there’s 2 ways to mod a vehicle…the right way and the half ass way. Enjoy.

You should be mad at yourself for that “install”…not mad at me. lol
All I did was tell you how to do it right without cutting anything on the car.

Pics above prove this! LIghten up JV, looks like this thread was created just to start an argument.
I couldn't agree more. All of the helpful posts Unbroken has made and to be calling him names. Just plain ridiculous.

Oh I can be an asshole…but I like to do things as correctly as possible.
I still don’t know why my sticker is lame. lol
Speed Advocates is a great group in my area…I’m proud to be a part of that group.

Try to ignore Unbroken and his girlfriends JV. I was only here for a week and realized what a ignorant douche he is on some of his posts. He is a pompous know it all ass. Not to be critical. What his worshippers on here don't realize is how many potential members he chases away. Unfortunately every car forum I have ever been on has at least one just like him. I suggest you do what I and many others have done and block him.

If you have me blocked how do you know what I said? lol
Listen crybaby…if you wanna hack your shit up I couldn’t care less…and I also don’t care if your feelings get hurt when I show people the right way to do something. This guys install is ridiculous. He didn’t even cut off the metal tabs on the gauge that lock it in place. I never would have even posted a pic of that mess.
But hey…do your little hurt feeling insult thing if it makes you feel better you poor little baby.

On a side note what part of PGH are you in so I can keep a look out for you?
