My PITA Gauge Project

Well, going into this I thought it would be a lot less work than it actually was. In retrospect, I don't know if I would do it again or just buy an A pillar I ended up having some issues with the extended ribbon cable and ended up having to buy a new hazard switch which was a PITA to track down (I cant stress how hard it is to find just the hazard switch without the face plate at a decent price) I can take more detailed images if anyone wants, flash was doing some funky stuff to the colors and bouncing off the clear but here ya go!

I would really like to thank 03chi-town0Z for searching high and low for a hazard for me and Frankiago for helping me diagnose my initial power issue.

CF DASH trim

So did you have a custom CF dash laid for you, and you self cut the gauge holes? Basically I'm asking how can I get one and I'll to the custom cutting myself?

No I took my stock piece and fiber glassed over the hole for the hazard switch. Then I sanded it smooth and laid CF over it, then of course put tons of resin and after that was sanded smooth I sprayed clear over the whole thing.

Its not carbon fiber. Its just plastic made to look like it has CF weaves.
