Default new switch plate
A local shop made this custom plate. Alan, the owner, does amazing work.

Here are 2 versions...the one I am keeping is the 3 button one.

The guy who made it owns a business that makes a lot of custom gauge pods and switch panels but mainly for Mustangs.

He was making a switch plate for some guy in Ill and needed a local car to actually take measurements. So my car got to test out the first pieces.

That is actually for a Mustang...not sure what you would have to do to modify it for your car.. But his price for that is $139.

No, gauges are expensive..hah, and that is a custom piece!

The base of that piece might not fit the shape of an F-body dash is what I meant.

It wouldn't be a problem to make the base of that piece for an f-body, have you ever asked him?
