I am in process of building a custom center console and I need to replace my radio/heater bezel. I also want to add 3 guages as well.
My question is I cant decide if I want to add the guages where the radio is, or put them underneath where the original cig lighter and ashtray were.
Has anybody installed or seen any of the plastic DIN bezels? They look pretty cheap in the pictures and most places want 100 bucks for them..
I really like the billet ones but can't justify 400 dollars for 20 dollars of aluminum.
So I'm just asking for some opinions and what you would do with mounting locations.
Here is a link to my console. So far it is just a mock up out of a card board box. I am waiting to buy the radio/heater bezel and new radio side trim pieces so I can fit the front end better into the dash.
I plan on putting in some cup holders, 2 cig lighters for power, and a auxiliary audio jack on the slanted portion just behind the shifter. Once its built out of wood, have it covered to match the seats with a stainles trim plate running down the center.
