Default Ashtray Plate

I did it.
I made a plate for the ashtray.

What do you guys think?

When I get to work next week I can make a PDF 1:1 Scale.
So you can print it and make your own plate.

Real Carbon Fiber. That's how I roll.

Yeah, I like the gauges look! Maybe when I get nitrous, I'll throw my bottle temp/pressure gauge in there and a A/F gauge lol

A template would be awesome, my cutout switch is just sitting in there now. I was going to put my nitrous switches in there but I'm not doing bottle anymore.

Only gauges you can put down there are ones that you dont have to watch. A/F is pointless to have down there as well as fuel pressure etc.

No way can you monitor data from gauges when you have to look all the way down there. I have my nitrous pressure gauge down there because i only have to look at it once.

True.
Its why I built a circuit with a hobbs switch to set off a pezo buzzer and led if the fuel pressure drops below 54 psi. Its a nice audible warning and light.
But yea, you cant watch anything down there...while driving.
