Default Where can I have custom plates made to hold guages in my center consol?

I wanna put my guages in my center consol, where the lower radio slot, plastic bar, ashtry, ligher and cup holder are. (well, i might keep the cup holder if i can). I also might put my turbo timer and EBC (if i get one) there too. Where would I have something like this made. I really want it to look good and professional. Would an audio place do it? Who else could do it?

Thanks.

u could probably have a machine shop cut one for u out of aluminum, youd just have to supply them with a template.

what i really wanted was something made of black plastic to match the interior. I wanted something solid too. I was hoping to just drop my car off w/ all the guages, tell them where i want them, and they'll make it fit.

I guess I could always try it myself first.

Here's a pic of mine...




Took out the center vents and heater control panel (moved it to the glove box). We used an Autometer flush mount gauge holder and made a fiberglass housing using that to house the APEXi guages. More custom work done too...

Thanks guys...

It was done by a team mate of mine so I can't really associate a price to it.

smkngsr, he can do custom work like this for you...email me at ahad@teamronin.net and we'll talk.

You guys should see my motorized passenger side air bag that houses my VAFC and AVC-R

Looks okay, but in my opinion, it makes your car a prime theft target... I mean, what theif would pass up a vehicle with that screen right there and a pair of big-*** gauges, a tach and a shift light? Plus all the stuff you say you have in your side panels...

The screen is NEVER in the car. I only throw it in when I know I'm always within eyes view of my car. The airbag is motorized...so the VAFC and AVC-R are never seen if the car is turned off. The only thing you see are the guages...which you would see on any car...so how is that a prime target then? I actually think it's pretty secure since anyone else would have their VAFC and/or AVC-R exposed...when the airbag is down, it looks like a factory dash since the factory air bag cover was utilized.
