Bulletproof DIN panel

Here's my Kevlar DIN panel, before attaching gauges, and with SBC-IDIII and Powermeter attached. It sits flush with the molding parting line in the opening, which allows the gauges to not look like they are sticking out real far. I made a test panel with holes cut exactly to the gauges out of ABS, but IMO it did not look as good, so I went with surface mount on the final piece.

Second pic with gauges mounted. I used the double sided adhesive used for mounting body side molding, so I do not think they will be coming loose.

Thanks, not the best pic, but my camera was running out of battery at this point, and I was in a hurry.

I used the Eclipse CD8053, and quart QSD 6.5 components in front and PCE 6.5 run coax in the rear.
