Default Gryphon Pod Relocated!!!

Here's some pics of the finished project. (also posted in previous thread asking for cut-out template)

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.
