thats the hard part about installting it. i have a wiring extension that it loomed(even though you cant see it) and basically tied up along the vents(not in them) and runs through a factory hole in the dash by the a pillar down to the fuse box my the drivers kick panel.

no abs.
just so people know because ive been getting this question a lot. theres NOTHING wrong with pvc. the only thing i have found is that it weighs more and some adhesives dont like to stick to it BUT other then that theres NOTHING wrong at all.
with my dash i had to make the hoods, pods, mold it in, smooth the entire dash and start from a clean slate to re textureize the dash. the amount of time in a paint both alone is a lot.

I'm going to be attempting to make the triple dashboard pod myself. It won't look as nearly good as the one that was made, but I'll try my best. Haha!
