How does the under dash panel mount? I think EMPI makes them and calls them Stereo/Gauge under dash panels. Does it come with brackets or screws? I was going to mount my CD player in the glove box but it won't fit. And from what I've read the "hidden glove boxes" only house the old old style stereos.

Thanks...

Better yet, if anyone has this and has a picture... that would be awesome.

I've had three different Sony radios (standard din size) in the hidden radio glove box with room for my phone and Cd's and other small things

Whoa really? That would make my life very easy Smile If it fits new style stereos I'm all for it.

-You don't have a quick picture of it do you?
-Also, any issues with the center bracket for the glove lid get in the way of putting cd's in or cd player controls?

Since it is Empi, you probably use JB weld, sheetmetal screws and duct tape to make it fit right.

Here is one I found in the gallery. It's in a bus but you get the idea about how they are installed.

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


Her eis one on ebay for $15...I am sure there are more but you get the idea.
