I am really glad to see this I have searched and found a site online that does panels with the switches but nothing as good as this. I know someone asked earlier last year but do you have an inside view and is the inside at all useable. Seriously have been looking to do this exact thing. But this is ten times better qaulity then what I found. Would you change anything now?

I'm still totally happy with this setup. The switches and wiring occupy a small void between the face of the console and the box inside, so the console is still 100% usable. I don't have any pics, but the pics would just show a normal-looking center console, so I'm not sure how useful they would be....

What he said.

I have a dual battery setup that has a solenoid to disconnect the batteries from each other when they're not charging (when the engine is not on). This prevents accessories from draining the starting battery. In the event that the starting battery does get drained, I can hit that switch to connect them back together so both batteries are used when starting the vehicle. I've had one occasion to test it so far, and it worked as expected.

This is great. I'm building/ordering one shortly. I'm going to put a spot in for an aux audio jack (if I can find a faceplate and jack???)

I know this an old thread, but do you recall how long it took for them to fabricate and ship the plate to you?
