Default Custom HVAC & Headlight switch plates, Pics...

I had some free-time over the weekend to install the custom black piano finish HVAC plate and head-light switch plate to match the custom gauge panel. I also replaced the current LED in the headlight switch panel with a new 30% brighter SMT LED. In person the LED red just looks sick against the piano black finish.

Here are the pics:

Looks damn good Mike. I'm curious about where you got the panels, but I figure I'll let you keep that one a secret mod, LOL.

^^LOL, I do not believe these pieces were hrdrographic dipped. I know the gauge surround was but I doubt it on the switch plates. It would be super hard to get the icons on there in the correct places & allow light to shine thru. I know Mike & this smells of a custom piece he had made somewhere.

I know the place that did my gages and panels offer gloss or mirrored as an option.

After seeing these pics I wish I had gotten that done this way instead. Very nice.

I would be interested in the polished billet ***** as well.

I like it minus the *****, they stick out too much for me. Looks good though.

I want to do that

Wow that looks fantastic. This is something I was waiting to see done in something other than the standard white overlays.
