This is what it looks like in the boat. Had the gauge faces redone, new trim rings from Top Notch, I painted the dash, and Livorsi did the lettering. I also went to dual switches on the throttle.

All told I have about $600 to $700 in it, I needed a couple of lights, and it is hard to track paint costs as it was all in stock.

If you buy cup holders check out amazon! They have some nice ones made for poker tables and the right kind of money!

Looks good Phil. Why didn't you do the glove box like the dash?

I did it depends on how the light hits it. You don't see the effect as much, I had to use a paint to try and get the aluminum grind effect.

I think my second try I will get it better but House of Kolor stopped making the paint and I am waiting for the replacement.

You making it this weekend?
