Default HVAC panel

I deleted my hvac last month and am currently running a big *** open hole in my dashboard. I also want to mount a few switches and warning lights in that space and was wondering what everyone has done to fill that hole and possibly use it for stuff. I think i tossed the stock plates so i cant use that as a template and i looked at where the nolts go and alot of **** of offset so im a bit confused what to do

We do sell them but if you are a DIY type of person it is easy as well. Just get a piece of cardboard and cut and trim until perfect then use as a template for ABS.

Or just make a square plate out of ABS and secure it to the bezel itself (as opposed to bolting it where the radio and HVAC went) to make it even easier on yourself (that is how ours is designed).

Gotcha, you are right, just the full piece. However, if you want to just order the full piece and I'll R&D an HVAC only piece for you that will bolt in place of the HVAC... As long as you can wait the two weeks for me to design and make it.
