If yes and yes, good luck- Maybe you can cut the back of the glove box out and mount it in there. Wire tucks aren't easy, you kind of have to try it a couple different ways and pick the one that you're able to pull off.

If you get rid of the airbag by either getting a pwjdm tray or a non-air bag dash, there is room where the air bag used to set and you can put the fuse box right there. I think there might also be room where the a/c components used to be (I yanked the a/c out). I plan on getting the bulkhead charging harness from rywire to make things a little easier on myself.

- Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:19 am #277137 just curious, and not trying to thread jack at all....but why would you want to put your fuse box in behind your dash? what if one of those fuses go out that control your head lights at night...now you gotta pull your dash apart at night just to fix it.

like i understand it makes your engine bay look really clean, but just for pure fuctionality of being able to get to it, couldnt you find a way to route ti down kinda by the ECU...and just make a new kick panel that covers the fuse box and ECU. now you dont have to pull the dash to fix fuses, just have to move the carpet.
