    Lol why on earth do you want this? you've got enough gauges on your dash.

    I bought a kingswood where the previous owner did that, i removed it. It's pointless, all for show you can barley read the guages without having your glass up against the front winsheild.

    But hey if that's your cup of tea then go for it.

    What guages are they? do you know how to hook them up? (ie volt meter, oil etc)?

    or are you just after how to mount them on the plastic?

    Rule of them, always get some spare parts just incase you **** something up.

    The way it was done on the kingswood was just a big hole (big enough drill bit so the connection and the mount just rests inside the hole, and bolt it from underneath the hood, or just water seal it usually keeps it there.

    Have never done this before, but that's how it was done on a car i previously bought, hope this helps some

    Best to have a plate under the plastic so It has something firm to mount too.

    I've got an old guage around here somewhere. They are usually sold with either a metal of a plastic mount for extra support.

    If not a place usually does the trick with a few holes in it
