Default Edge Programmer (Gryphone) Relocated!!!

Here's some pics of the finished project.
I used some 1/8" plastic sheets found on ebay. They're already scribed at 1/4" increments on the back side (as well as some circular scribes for gauges, etc..).
The size of the panel that replaces the ashtray flip-out is 9"w x 3"h.
I then used M4 bolts / nyloc-nuts to mount with nylon spacer standoffs. 1/2" stand-off for the top bolts and 1/4" stand-off for the bottom bolts.
I also purchased a carbon-fiber fabric for interior upholstery from ebay (yes... ebay addict here). Then using spray adhesive, I covered the new panel. So that the carbon-fiber look would match, I also scuffed and covered the trim panel (climate controls, radio, etc...) with the same.
Turned out well I think. I mounted the pod to the left so that I have room to mount switches, accessories at a later time. Plans are to add an exhaust cut-out and the hella grill with the halogen lights. Switches for both will end up in the extra space to the right of the Gryphon.

Did you add that insert to your cupholder or is my truck missing it? I can't drive with a drink without it sliding around.

First of nicely done. Trucks with the center shift have an ashtray there. If you have the column shift you will have cupholders in that spot.

Looks badass. Cool mod and very original. But I agree with others, I like mine up where I can see it at all times and not have to look down.
