I like it too! I'm about to put the blue Dakota Digital in mine and I think something like that would look good with it.

Re: custom gauge pannel

i used carbon fibre vinyl from a place that made signs and laid it over top and cut around the gauge holes, took a while but so worth it

Re: custom gauge pannel

That looks great! Is it laminated onto a piece of sheet metal, or just really thick stuff?
