OK, am I just stupid or do '03s not have a sun glass compartment?

 

I have an 03 VIII with a sunglass compartment. Apparently not all are equipped with this feature, though. Perhaps the RS has a different options package..?

 

Any Evo (RS?) will have the compartment unless it has a sunroof. The sunroof mechanism takes up the space where the compartment would be. I have an 03 with no sunroof, and hence a nice place for my shades

 

You remove the dash trim and unsnap the clock case from the fascia. I fabricated a bracket onto the back of the fascia to hold the timer so I would not have to modify (cut) the trim. I then velcro'ed the timer to the bracket. Due to the depth of he unit, I did have to modify the internal dash bracket for clearance.

 

I put my timer in the change cup to the left of the steering wheel. I originally had it in the cubby below the heater controls but, then I relocated my radio there and had to move the timer.

 

Thanks, I have a sunroof, so I'm not stupid. Shouldn't you have a sunglass compartment with a sunroof that just makes sense.

 

How much work was it to pull off your dash ? Also how did you go about making a brket for your TT ? Did you just bend up so sheet metal or did you have a shop make it ? I mean you would have to mount it to your dash some how ! Did you just use plastic rivets or did you biolt it in ? Give me a little more. I think this is where i want to put mine!

 

i have mine mounted on the steering column, its very visible and is out of the way...btw, i don't have a sunglass compartment on my 03 GSR either, some of us definitly got jipped lol and i do have the sunroof package btw..

 

I bought a cf plate for the cubby hole and cut out the dimensions of the hks type 0 timer. You can get those at myevostore.com

 

The wires are routed behind the top of the window frame and down the side to the A-pillar... i had to extend the wires since the wiring kit was not long enough... my friend did this for me and he wanted the "stock" oem look

here is a close up picture from another angle

 

do 05's not come with change trays or something?i never knew i had one. ill look when i get off work.

 

Yeah, I dont think the 05's have the coin tray. Thanks for all your responses guys! I think Im gonna end up putting it under the cubby..still unsure.

 

 

same here! BTW its nice!

 

That's the same place I put mine, also how did you fit the boost guage into the cup? The back of my gauge had 2 screws comming out the back and it won't fit all the way into the cup? Shoot me a PM, perhaps another picture? I can't figure out how to fit in in there.
