I'd buy one if you could configure it a bit differently for my setup.

Ummm I dunno I'd say about 20 bucks. Lol nah i dunno I'd go like nitrous outlets page and get a general idea of what they charge for other cars. They def don't make one for us. Mine would need more switches though for sure. At least 5. One master arm switch two bottle heaters one purge one bottle opener. Also wouldn't mind an led bulb in there so it's easy to know of on or off.

Also does it still allow the ashtray to open close. I want to be able to close it when not in use.

Yeah my first go around with the wiring I wasn't able to close it because of the wiring coming out the back...so I spent some time at auto zone trying to figure out what I could do, and ended up using a tow hitch wiring harness...worked great and looks very clean.

I got a PM from someone saying I can't sell them because people who pay to be sponsors are already selling ones just like it...but I was unable to find anyone who sells them for our cars. That's why I made my own...

I dont know who is selling something like this. If you could make one where i can mount my a/f gauge that would be sweet.

No body makes a panel for the Ctsv. So who ever said that needs to do a little but more thinking before they write some dumb ****. Do what ya want man.
