Attached are some pics of the gauge pod before it has been secured. I am having trouble figuring out a way to secure the metal plate onto the plastic of the radio trim. The lips on the plate are only a few millimeters wide so I don't think a screw is possible.

Are there any glues or tape adhesives that would work with metal to plastic? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know it isn't necessarily the cleanest pod for gauges but it angles nicely to the driver and I hope they will not be as noticable for people walking by.

you can use epoxy, but i think rivits might be better, but that is only a thought.

I was looking at epoxy but I wasn't sure how long it would hold up with vibrations and what not. I may drill and put a screw through on each side with locking nuts. I just don't want the screws to be too noticeable

duck tape?

you should put more thought into your set up. if you epoxy it, it wont come off easily and like you said... its really ugly (aka not the cleaniest)... maybe you can consider a custom dash or something... your set up looks like it belongs in a ghetto civic.

There isn't another kit to put the gauges there. If someone wants to custom fabricate something for a reasonable price I will gladly pay them but this will have to do for now. Unless I take it to somewhere and they can do some overlay on it

drill it and put rivet on it. : )

i was lucky, that i didn't have to drill or glue it to stick on my panel.

JB weld does wonders.

It isn't angled tho. I like this one cuz it angles towards the driver. I have a buddy that can fabricate it a bit to blend it all in
