How could I tell how modded your car is? Well, you name is 06 EX...so at the most your car is lowered, with wheels, exhaust, and intake. Maybe some exterior and interior dress up parts.
Sorry, I am just a strong believer that you dont need the extra gauges unless you are running some sort of forced induction, or nitrous setup. Possibly on a very highly built NA car.

Regardless of the level of mods, an oil pressure gauge is helpful - especially for someone who drives hard.

Im sure that you can predict exactly where everything is going to go in an accident right...:rolleyes:

Like already said, the airbag is in the headliner, so there is no use arguing, but dont act like just because something is designed to go a certain way, that its going to do that no matter what.

Ok I have been in iraq for a few months and have been puting some money down on parts... I bought some gauges for my si since i plan on slappin a turbo, or a sc when they come out. Now im going to keep this car as clean as possible unlike my last EG that I had. Im going to make something thats removeable...

I have thought about making something that slides over the glove box door... and have the gauges mounted to the piece that hangs off the glove box door. The have all the wires nice and need and zip tied down. Also, I can fab up a harness that goes under the dash and hooks up to all the sensors. Then make a connector in between them... So for daily driving, dont need them maybe just hardwire a boost/oil press one into the center console or something but yeah... that just me thinking out loud... what do you guys think?
