Just to confirm, you ordered the blank panels from Baja?

Ed,

Actually the dealer ordered the blank dash panel and did all the cutting and re-wiriing of the gauges. Took forever to get, and cost an arm and a leg, but I like the stock look and you can't beat having it directly in front of your line-of-sight.

Pic of the new dash from over the weekend. Worked out great. The only thing I gave up was the speedo and one voltage gauge. Its a common electrical system anyway so I really only needed one. SO nice to have the GPS in the dash. The Garmin 545 is fast and great detail. I picked up a factory refurb and flush kit for like $700!

Why not buy some sheet stock aluminum and make your own. Use the old one as a template. After you have figured out and cut where everything will go, powder coat it or have it covered in a cool theme etc.

Team Marine will cut one any way you want it cut. They have the patterns for Bajas too.

Amybody got set of diverters to fit the new styled headers that are on the 525efi's???

VERY NICE

I just want to let you know that the gauge panel shape changed around 2002 to the same shape used on the 33 Outlaw. I do not think we ever had a layout for the older panel, before GPS units, and smartcraft really got popular.

Dean @ Checkmate was using Team Marine also, and said they are now belly-up? Smitty's idea may be your best bet?

TEAMBAJA has some older 36 panels, but they all have gauge holes punched in them.

I have two 33 Outlaw panels that are new, one purple powdercoat, the other factory carbon-fiber. Also one I think for a 342 carbon fiber. All are new, just didn't use.
If anyone has an interest I will post some pics after the LC poker run.

Just buy 3/16 sheet carbon fiber from Dragonplate trace your current dash outline, cut it then router the holes yourself with a dremel. I did mine in about six hours complete install. You can get pre treated carbon fiber with UV protectant or, I painted mine with clear spray polyurathane and it looks great. Get the 8 or 10 inch Garmin they look fantastic and you can hook a DVD player to them and play DVDs atnytime you want with the player hooked to the stereo for sound.
