I tried putting a Ps2 in that spot by the E-Brake. I cut the plastic piece perfectly with a hacksaw. Too bad Ps2 won't play a disk in the "verticle backwards" position. The replacement part was 20$ a Honda.

How about... you know where the passenger air bag is? Take that out and make it a little flip mechanism like the cupholders on 02's. In there you can have your gauges or whatever else you can put. I you want it closer move your headunit to that little slide open box by the E-brake and put stuff in that stuff. What you think?

Ohh...pooh!!! lol

Hmm... how about mounting it on the visor or maybe up on the headliner like where the sunroof would go but closer to the map light area. You can also take out the map light and put something there because you already have a dome light. Who needs map lights anyway? We have Mapquest and gas stations to ask directions for. (even though Mapquest is horrible)
