Default New Gauge/Switch panel

Put in the cd player today and then made a gauge/switch panel out of some alumnium to fill the hole. I am picking up some thicker alumnium tomorrow and re doing it. The edges are a little rough on this one since it was a test pretty much for fitment and measurements.

Thanks, you think the alumnium looks good or should I get that black type of plastic and use it...its the type of stuff like the panels you buy are made from.

I did a complete hack job on mine. I used sheet metal from Lowe's and some ****ty clippers. But I think yours looks great as it is.

Just looked through my photobucket, and don't seem to have one. It's not worth taking a picture of anyways.

I still have the stock CD player, so were not building them in the same place. I have mine down by the traction control switch. I appreciate the offer tho!
