These first 2 pics are of the Lotek gauge pod and how they wanted me to cut the stock panel and mount them. Note how in the second it overlaps my speaker grill for the dash.
Well I took things into my own hads and cut the lotek pod and the dash peice a little more. Please forgive the sloppy job.
Here is where I monted the pod into the dash panel. At this point it is being held with some hot glue.
Some time later I got to actually fiberglassing the thing. Took some patience because of dry time. I filled in any gaps I had between the two peices with 5min plastic weld. After that was done I fiberglassed the enitre thing. I did 3 layers of fiberglass on the outside and inside of the dash peice. I then waited for a day for it to cure and began smoothing the outside as best I could. I used some Trunk Spatter Paint purchased from Checkerds/O'riely to get the texture. I did this 2 different times to get the texture I wanted. I than sprayed the peice with some OEM Plastic black purchased from the same place.
The result is the 2 pics below.
I could not stand the blakc. It was too glossy and didn't match the stock black at all. So I went back and bought a duplicolor flat black. This turned out well and is what you see below. The final product.
