The inserts came with the truck. It's actually 2 pieces so that you can remove either. Makes them easier to clean too.

Thanks for the props guys... When I first received my Edge I was the same way. I liked it up top and did watch it quite a bit. Now that I've had it for 6 months I don't check it as often. I've got my alarms set if anything gets out of my comfortable parameters. If there were a location to mount it higher I probably would have. I thought of trying to make something similar to the Harley edition gauges console that sits up where the accessory tray (useless) sits but I don't have access to any vacuum molding equipment. Believe it or not it's really visible where it is now.
To each their own though... but again, thanks for the compliments.

Very nice, I was thinking of mounting it in the ash tray and have it able to swing out when you open that up but wound up putting my toggle switches for the lights in there... Very nice work on getting the panel in there...

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.

Do you have a link or a way of finding the product on EBay for the plastic sheets
