FRPP Gauge pack no drill install?

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone has found a way to do a "no drill" install on the gauge pack. I was wondering if it would be possible to snake the wires down into the defrost vent or something of the sort to avoid drilling the $1700+ dash and adhering the gauge pack to the dash by way of two sided tape or something of the sort. I really want to buy one of these kits I just absolutely despise the idea of drilling holes into a dash that doesn't have any easily replaceable top. If anyone has done this type of installation I would love to hear from you. Any other ideas are highly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
I've thought about that as well and what I'm not clear on is how the wiring would exit the gauge pack at the back. It looks like the wires are designed to go down. In the meantime I'm sticking with my Aeroforce Interceptor gauge using the Roush gauge pod.

I installed a gauge pod and filled it with Auto meter gauges.

Since this is a factory installed option, LS. I felt no damage would be made to resale value.

I also saved about $450.000 over the pod with ford gauges.

I did look at mounting without effecting the dash pad. I could not come up with a way to firmly secure the pod without drilling.

Rick, do you have a pic of the aeroforce mounted in your car?

Thanks!
 
I looked at the vent mounted option as well, I just really like the factory equipment route aside from drilling holes in a non LS.
