Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I got a new center bezel for my car, and I had a not so good home made single DIN switch panel in there. Looking to rewire all that stuff with a new panel. Anyone have any good ideas for a single DIN switch panel. I'd like to keep it less than $100.

I was doing to make one out of sheet metal ill let you know how it goes... i made one a few years back for a probe out of plexi with glow wire behind it. made the switched appear to float which was cool. Ricer... Yes... I was 17

I was offering to make them at cost for people on the probe forums.

Yeah, I got a plastic one in there now. Looking for something that is easy to install and remove without so much fab work. I would just like to add that damn... Painless Wiring is proud of their stuff.

LOL proud as in very expensive? I have kinda the same deal with the plexi. Definitely a pain in the ass if you need to work in that area. I don't believe I have any pics of it though

Just get a blank one of these gauge panels and drill the switch holes where needed. I have one of these but in a 3 gauge configuration and it mounts pretty good with an aluminum bracket on each side that kind of sandwiches the panel between the front bezel and aluminum bracket.

I modified the mount though and use it in the top hvac opening and moved the hvac controls to the bottom opening.

$20 for a black plastic one with no holes or they also have brushed aluminum for $25

Perfect. I was looking all over the web for a blank one like that. You'd be surprised how hard they are too find. I also love the idea of moving the a/c controls to the bottom.

Low is fine for switches, but for gauges you want them high. I have my HVAC controls in the lower position and gauges in the top. All my switches (line lock, stage limiter, twEECer tune knob) are in an ashtray switch panel.

Yeah, on second thought, I think I will put the switches down at the bottom. I only have a volt gauge on that panel.
