The guy who did it for me is Craig Harde. He was thinking about doing one where the gauges face the driver. He supplies NSX owners with custom center consoles. Here is an example of what he has done with an NSX. You can contact him at craigharde@hotmail.com

Very nice man. It came out looking really clean.

If I had a need for guages, I'd need to drop you a line.

Let's get someone here on the list to inquire about these custom panels, that way the poor guy doesn't get overwhelmed with emails.

Very Nice!
Like how it flows into the AC panel with no visible gaps.
It would be nicer like some of the guys said with the gauges facing the driver.
I will be interested depending on the cost.

I talked to Craig earlier today. He would like to sell the panel for $120 painted. He won't be ready for about another month.

Did the bottom stereo relocation require brackets or any special hardware? (When you get back obviously)

I've got a couple sheets of CF I was going to use to make a custom something-or-other in the stock DIN location, but I was uneasy about the difficulty of moving the head unit to the cubby hole.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Actually I suppose anyone who's done this move could answer the question. Time to go read through Audio and Security like a madman.

The stereo relocation is the easy part You will need Part#MZ598263EX It includes brackets for the radio or CD changer that is required to move it to the new location. The bracket that the radio currently uses is different.
