http://www.otrattw.net The have have a massive selection of switches and switch covers, so the ones I got aren't really custom. Although I think if you contact them they can make custom ones for you.

Yea that did turn out nice. How durable does that plastic putty seem? And it sands nice? I like the custom "factory" look and im going to modify my ashtray to hold my edge evo and 2 push button light switches so i can just close it out of sight out of mind and open it when i need to. Was thinking bondo was my go to till i seen this stuff. Preety excited now to do it.

It's held up great so far, but only time will tell. Post some pictures when you finish yours!

Default Custom Switch Panel Install

Well it's finally finished!!
I've been distracted/busy with other things and this got put on the back burner until now.

I repainted the switch panel flat black and painted the front and rear cab light housings to match. I'll get better pictures later as well as a write up for the wiring.
