I finally got my gauges installed. Pyro/boost/volt .
I wanted it to look as stock as possible. I may color the trim rings black and change the gloss black on the fascia to flat. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with the results.
The filler I used on the fascia trim is epoxy mixed with wood flour. It bonded very well and shaped easily.
The gauge panel is 8mm ply with countertop laminate.
The lighter circuit was handy for switched power and the ashtray light for the gauge lights.
I switched one of the gauge lights with an LED that Paul gave me and its way better color but a titch too bright.
All the climate controls work good and were much easier to move than expected.
I made a neat job of bundling the wires for final installation and used connectors that allow me to remove any gauge without unwiring the whole works.

Re: L300 Gauge install
Nice. I do think the bezels would look nice in black though. Looks quite stock.
