DIY: Climate control delete panel

[EagleStroker]

After driving at night with my triple dash pod I have renewed interest in this - so this thread can rise from the dead. The glare is killing me! So I passed it off to some more capable hands, my friend Scott.

We are going to fill in the places in between each circle and then paint it, should look as good as OE

Much better!!!

Looking nice!

Eager to see how you go about extending the wires...

Thanks man. I'm good at a lot of things, body work isn't one off them.

Cut, splice, solder, heat shrink, repeat. That's probably the easiest part for us, I get to pull all of my wiring out of my dash which will be a pain, should have just done it this way to begin with!

After a little free time and some bondo he's gotten this far on it:

Opinion poll from you guys, shave or leave the center power port? I don't use it all that much, and could honestly run it somewhere a little more convenient if I just had to have it down the road.

Also, I have a few extra panels laying around so if anyone would like one I can talk to Scott about knocking out a few more for some beer money

Thats awesome, I can't wait to see the re-finished product!

I say block it off or put a starter button. I really couldn't stand the power point there so I added a S2000 starter button.

I would like to add one of those in the front cup holder, that's down the road though. Shaving it I shall!

Ah, I boycott anything Apple but that's neither her nor there. My F910BT will suffice nicely Thanks for the compliments

Actually still tinkering with it. I've had a hard time finding a paint that looks OE but doesn't make a dark spot where the filler is. I honestly haven't had time lately to mess with it but I will definitely update the thread once it's in the car!

Well due to you reminding me, I gave my buddy Scott a call yesterday and evidently he finally found something last week that works well. So now it's just me getting home/torn away from school work to install it that's the issue.

Can't wait for pics!

If you ever wanna get rid of that piece, lemme know!

I've got a few extra panels if you like the finished product, my friend who did it always appreciates a little pocket money

Any new updated pics?

Any new updated pics?

The mod money tree dried up for a little while, she's done and waiting for me to install everything though

Hey man, would you still be willing to sell one of those pieces?
