Yeah, I want those same lights. I would rather have the clear reflectors but they are harder to find.

You mean these?

Okay well I got the new voltage meters put in, and both in the same spot, where I wanted them. Now I can finally paint the center console!

Anyway, here is what I did. This is the factory piece that I mad previously modified to hold the first volt meter.

Well it was just gonna be too much work to try to squeeze both meters into this piece. Plus I really wanted to try some different meters anyway. So it's time to make a new piece to hold them! First I traced the shape onto some 3/8" plywood, and cut it out.

And it goes like this

Marked for the new meters, and I used the dremmel to start the cuts

Test fit... looks good! Now for some carbon fiber vinyl

Not perfect, but close enough. I've almost got the hang of it! Carbon Fiber FTW!

Next I cut out a piece of plexiglass the same shape, then sandwitched the three together, and added some JB Weld

388401_287527681283231_100000780034606_716927_1174568592_n.jpg

And now it looks like this

381069_287528041283195_100000780034606_716934_2016783030_n.jpg

So now tomorrow, I'll patch the holes left from the bottom meter, re install the cig adapter, and get the center console painted.

Man, I'm finding all kinds of stuff to do without spending the first penny!

Well, I got the meter wired up anyway.

First I pulled everything out of my way

388346_288095301226469_100000780034606_718023_1323111753_n.jpg

Then I wired up separate relays for each meter, since they dont have remote wires

388125_288095317893134_100000780034606_718024_220183515_n.jpg

Then I put removable terminals on and put it back in

So that is that! Now it's on to the center console!

those meters look pretty nice, but why did you choose to switch from the colorful stinger volt meters?
