What happened to the hazard switch? Why is it so far to the right?

Looks good otherwise. Better photo would be appreciated

Hazard Switch!/Version 2

When I designed this gauge pod I sat in the driving seat and wanted to place the gauges so that not only did they not block the view outside the vehicle but inside also! they are far right to prevent the visual block of a/c gauges.

I also have a version 2 that allows for a closer gauge pod location and flat switch panel!

As far as the hazard switch goes, I wanted to create a clean look without destroying any stock parts. the entire hazard switch panel was moved below the a/c panel in the location where the stock rca audio jacks were. So if at a later date you wish to remove the gauge pod and put all the original parts back you can!

rather have the version 2.doing version1 and moving the hazard is another work instead just doing the gauges.

looks like you took a 3 gauge A pillar pod and chopped it up then slapped it onto our dash trim and wrapped 3m over it

I like the concept, but not sure I like the execution. If you did the first version, relocating the hazard switch setup down lower, and then set up the gauges lined up with the HVAC controls or centered with nav/radio, tilted just slightly towards the driver, I think that would be much better and look more OEM. I've been wanting to do this but haven't had the time or ambition yet, it's on the winter project list. But if I could find a decent price one already setup that way, I could be interested

I might do a rough mold and see how it looks! Thanks for the Constructive Criticism.

Thank you for your opinion!

But the gauge pod was actually made from scratch with fiberglass and bondo if you would like to see build pics I can PM them to you if you are interested! It was a lot of molding, sanding, and fitment! To add to that, the one that is covered in the 3m is not the one in my car it was one of many different ones Ive built!

If you have time tell me what you think of my car!
Google:
Fonzo Performance
Wraptivo Evo X
Flat White EVO X
you should be able to see a few pics/videos!

do you have any links to your car, I would love to see what you've done with it?

Thank you for offering me the build pics but I know how much work goes into making a custom gauge pod, heres the gauge pod I made. Its kinda like yours, but its made from carbon fiber.








p.s. I really like your car
