Alright guys, I've been thinking over on how to do this A/C delete panel, and there's three options to go with.

Cheapest- Make flat pieces of carbon fiber, cookie cut them out, and have them applied with adhesive.

Pro - cheapest to do and would hold up well.
Con - If you wanted to apply gauges, unless you use the 3M special composite adhesive, over time they will wear out the adhesive and it will come off.

Moderate cost - Build a mold to make the plate actually encompass around the secondary part that holds the switches and lights, and glue it on.

Pro - would hold up a lot better to usage of switches.
Con - you would need to modify the secondary part slightly to make it work. There are four tabs the old unit clicks into. You would have to cut those down with an exacto to get it to fit.

Expensive - Make an exact replica of the front panel with the holes for the tabs to clip into. I would have to manually cut each tab after pulled from the mold.
Pro- No cutting, no gluing
Con - Expensive

If you guys wanted to, if I make the moderate style ( which I recommend) you could send me your A/C control unit, and I'll modify it myself, purchase the special 3M adhesive ( goes for about 70 bucks a canister!!) AND ill even lighten it up even more then after all the switches are removed. let me know what you guys think. I'd really hate to just make flat pieces since it wouldn't allow me to have fun with this project, anybody could do it if that was the case.
