i have always wanted to have the radio up higher and have found a kit to do so. anyone ever seen this? also i wonder if there would be any mods to wiring or anything in moving the Hvac controls. here is a link to the kit. i think it would look kick ass too. relocation kit (http://www.mustangtuning.com/forarepa1.html)

I saw a relocation a year or so ago. Very cool but doing so would be a major pain in the ass

i was wondering what all would be involved. i guess when i change the carpet out in the next couple of months (hopefully), i will take a few extra pieces out and see what it involvles. i think it is pretty cool that it includes the gauge spaces. it would definitely be unique. when i order mine i will get you one Lee, we will figure it out together. :D :lol:

Check out these plates... www.gaugeplates.com he is a guy from the Turbomustangs site who is making them. You can go to TM.com and probably find a few posts about them.

I could do without the freaking logo being engraved on the bottom of the plates on the plastic ones...

I moved mine - I'll post pics when I get the car back - I made my own trim piece out of fiber board, then wrapped it in black leather.

I'm a music buff, and am constantley switching out CD's - couldn't stand the stock location of the radio.

how big of a pain was it? was there enough wiring etc to make the move easy?

I had to extend two or three wires (cant remeber, was over a year ago) for the HVAC controls, other than that, just basic fabrication. I used a piece of sheetmetal for the backing plate to the trim piece.

Took about a month to figure out the best way to do it (didn't want it to look like garbage) - those plates from gaugeplates would make it a lot easier...
