...what should I do with the hole? If anyone is wonderin why I took it out is because I don't want to pay to get my airbags refilled or replaced. Also I sheds some unwanted weight.

I was thinking about making a pocket or glove box there. Any suggestins or insight? Lol also i loveeee the integra airbag delete tray and that's where I'm getting my idea from. Insights? Suggestions? Comments? Projects?

There are many options for that space. You can hinge the airbag cover to make a small compartment, you could fiberglass some plastic in or find a dash tray that is close to fitting, you could make a panel for some gauges, add a tv, fiberglass a PS2 in there, bracket the airbag cover on so it looks stock, etc. All depends on what you want, anything is possible with a little fiberglass and creativity. If it was my car I would add some hinges, a magnetic latch, use the airbag cover and create a small compartment or glovebox out of fiberglass.

My dash didn't even come with a passenger airbag. Maybe try and find a partout on craigslist and scoop the dash?

^^^ what he said, or find a CF tray to put over it, but if you dont have some CF pieces already it might look out of place. and you could always fiber glass and make a gauge pod.

Cupholders FTW!!

jk, A flip top compartment would be nice though since I've heard 4gs basically dont have a glovebox. Thats what I'd do anyways..

why'd you blow it up!?

a delete tray would be dope, but you probably would have to make it yourself

__________________

ok guys well the big issue about fiberglass making is...i dont know how hahaha. i like the ides of a hinge and magnetic lock thingy but how would you do something like that? has anyone ever taken out their airbags to see what the cutout looks like before?

great ideas guys, keep them coming. btw im not into fancy tvs or pods i just want something james bond hidden stuff like. lol enough to maybe...conceal a weapon? lol jk jk

I think in Japan they had a tray if you didn't get a passenger air bag. Or you could get a 92/93 dash which won't have the hole to begin with

I'm not too familiar with 4gs, but a hidden compartment would be pretty cool. if the cover says "airbag" on it, you could turn the space into a mini-bar. Police would never even think to look!

put a tv in dere fo da bishez my man!!!
jk jk

a compartment would be pretty cool though I hate the lack of a glove box in my lude.

i have a dash with no air bag cut out...but you can no haz...

if the bag blew up then it destroyed the cover then right? if you find another at a junkyard maybe you could find a way to separate the bag from the exposed cover...or maybe that's asking for it to blow up in your face...?

__________________

^^^ elude I seperated the bag from the cover already lol. I have the cover but I would like more insight on how to ghetto rig a compartment like box. I would mind a bar but I'm planning on getting a VIP coffee table for the lude already so no need. As for a tv, well I'm not much of an ICE fan (hence the oem radio lol).

Good looking out guys! Keep it coming!!!

__________________

i would probably try to permanently fit the cover back to the dash so it looks like the airbag is still there but of course isn't. but, knowing you, you're always trying to be innovative and one up people with your crazy new ideas...






oh yeah...

don't be a puss, learn to glass. make a nice setup for some gauges to clean up the interior.

__________________

lol i shall learn to glass...one of these days. im thinking of doing a tray like the integras since it wouldnt be too bad and i have a demo to look at.

__________________

i know a ton of people who take out their p.airbags and put in tvs with dvd players ect and hook up stuff to them i wouldnt id just put it in my dash.. but its an idea.

im looking at doing the same thing =] just that my cover is really messed up (airbags deployed after hitting a dog on the freeway[yes a dog]) so my dilemma is getting the cover off??? idk how ima get that thing off its bent really bad, i thought it was plastic or rubber but i guess theres some sort of metal reinforcement inside it. so yea n e help tearing that out?

The cover is hella easy to take off. There's only 6 bolts holding it. Damn the shape of our dashes are so friggin hard to work with!

__________________

Ok I got mine off :D Ima try molding a piece of plastic with a heat gun to make a cover then putting a pair of small shocks and some sort of latching mecanism so I can place some goodies in there ;)

^^^ when u do, make sure you post up some pics and your ideas so we can all see!!!

okie dokie, will do. just gimme some time

i say turn into an "ICE" guy lol and put you a double den where your factory is and put a ps3 in the place of your airbag haha!!.

but sounds like your not going to go that route anytime soon soooooo..... i would try and find something at a hardware store that resembles some kind of a tray that would fit inside and then get one (maybe two) small spring style hinge and a push to open latch (like our cup holders) and BOOM!!! there you have your james bond style secret compartment to hide all them condoms lol

sweet cant wait for your outcome good luck!



hahaha i couldnt even ft my dreamcast in there what makes you think i can do a ps3!?!?!? but i know that i can do some type of latch or hinge, its just the choice of where i should drill. not that many areas if you look lol

__________________

i really have never taken a look at it lol as lame as that sounds, but if you didnt want to drill you could use some epoxy. that should hold.

DUH HELLOO xD!!!
YES I ROCK YELLOW!!!FTW!!!!

would work very well, thats some really powerful glue. i guess you are not familiar with it, but it would probably be your best bet. oh and a ps3 slim is smaller than a dreamcast, but your right after i looked at it you would probably have to do a a/c delete and gut out a bunch of stuff from the dash.

another idea is you could go all Pimp My Ride and put a doughnut maker off in that piece lol
