super glue......what kind of switch of panel got any pictures?

I just superglued the bottom edge of it and it holds fine, i need to trim behind the panel so i can actually close the door. Plus if i ever remove the panel once i put the little ash tray container back in itll look like it was never there.

My is very simular to yours. Ised abs plastic. It took me abouy 30min to make. I have mine cut down where it closes up perfect. I had to recess my switches tho bc it rubbed. I need slimer switches but i made it work.

That's pretty sharp, itsslow. Did you have that made for you? If you did it yourself, how did you do the labels?

Thanks, i had a guy on here make it for me. I made a PAINT picture of where i wanted the switches and what labels I wanted and also gave the measurements for the digital nitrous pressure gauge that I wanted in the panel as well. His name was Beer99c5 I think.

And the labels are etched in and painted white it looks top notch. Switches are too long on the bottom so I cant close it right now but ill be fixing that soon.

Where did you put your nitrous pressure gauge? I have found the small dynotunes liek I have work great and can fit anywhere really especially since we have no room at all for autometers.

Just bought a sheet of ABS plastic offline and trimmed it down with my dremel. Used 3M double sided tape to secure it. (Completely reversible).
