- Looks great! Do you get enough cold air through the one bottom vent?
Yeah. It comes out of the bottom vent more. I think if tossed another gauge in the bottom the car would still cool down enough. I've closed the bottom to test it and it cools down pretty good without either of them. | |

does it have an LED light in it? I pay for all my own bills, just not much rent. Don't feel like moving out till I have saved enough for a down payment on a house. Would rather put $1400/month towards my own house than $1000/month towards someone elses mortage. It has a white light in the gauge it lights up. You can see it fine at night. | |

| How does the trim piece that houses the vents in the door come off??? I think they just snap on and off but I hate to start pulling on stuff without knowing. How many clips? Thanks guys. | |

| Oldsman: Very nice. I've been very impressed with the way you've tastefully modded your Riv. Props to you.  My question is "the panel itself"...does it just snap on and if so where are the tabs? | |

| It is not that hard to remove the door panel. It is pretty easy.

Yeah you need to take the whole thing off. Its only like 5 screws I think. Then you just have to pull up on the door and it will come out. | |

| u need to get a vacuum hose tee and run the white platic line into the cabin, youll need to drill a hole in the firewall. Then u need splicce some wires from a fused source. and i just took out a vent and put it in there and ran the wires inside the vent and drilled a whole to wire it to something. the gauge will fit and if its too small then just wrap it with tape till it does. | |
