After seeing all the Cubby panels on the market I thought to myself "It cant be that hard".

Seeing How I work at the Home Depot Tool rental, I have pretty much everything I need. I used a jig saw and a dremel for the cutting. It took about a total of 3hours from making the template to installing the finished product.

Here are just the pics of the finished Product. I was going to make tabs to keep the gauge from falling out but decided that would be too hard to do with a dremel/Jig saw. So to keep things simple and to keep the gauge from falling out, I used two O-rings on the back and one on the front. The gauge doesn't move at all and the O-rings aren't that ugly to look at.

I know its a bit off center, but I did all measuring and cutting by hand/eye so I expected this. I don't think I did too bad for my first time










Im going to take more Pics at night witht the little LED on and see how that looks

looks good man

what paint did you use for your center consal sp? lol. is it paintmatched?

dont know if i like the clear panel, i would have used black, or in your case maybe CF or blue, but good work nontheless...

Yes its Color matched

I bought 2 cans of spray paint of my color code from paintscratch.com, Besides a few mistakes it came out alright

Im a DIY kind of guy

what a great idea!!!

i did some thing like that on my car but i have it wedged in where my ash tray was and its being held up by some hand bent sheet metal... works for my needs and you can't see it when its all together...

cant wait to see the night shots!

Nice, I like the O-ring idea...I may have to borrow that!

DIY rocks Good work! I would have frosted the plexy and used a blue led behind it in the stock cubby light to make it glow ... hint.. .hint.. Did it about 2 years ago on a trial basis and it looked cool.

^ now that is a great idea and would look so sick!

that looks great man,
been meaning to get myself a scangauge so when
i do ill be stealing this idea from you ha.

Thats funny that you said that

I made a frosted one two days ago, and plan on putting a few extra LED's in the cubby hole to make it really glow

whats a scanguage?

cant say i dig the clear, but lovin the idea..

clean but you should have went with a cf or painted the back side of the clear black

I will be making many different kinds, they are free for me lol

nice, good custom install.. since I cant use my cubby hole I mounted mine on the rear view mirror
