Hey guys, Just wondering if any of you know if anyone sells a hvac **** delete panel. I just deleted all my hvac stuff and I don't want the **** control panel there. Im going to eventually put 3 gauges in that area.

Just get a small stainless steel sheet and build one yourself. Should be really simple to do.
