*update* - center console panel question - *update* Reply #152 – February 04, 2011, 10:44:23 PM Kick ass. I did the console conversion few weeks back and have a bad plate so as soon as I get some extra $ come my way, prolly in about 2 weeks, I'll be needing a panel and overlay for Windows/Mirrors only. In the normal push = up, pull = down configuration.You said you used a blue bulb and it lit up well. Did it light up correctly with the blue tint? And it would work the same way for say....red?

*update* - center console panel question - *update* Reply #154 – February 05, 2011, 06:10:28 AM Does the combined thickness of the panel and the decal stick up above the level of the console, or is it pretty much flush? How many lights will it take to get a uniform brightness behind the lettering? One bulb for each or just a few around the periphery?I gotta say I am very impressed with this project. Very impressed. Lots of times guys get started on these things and never see them through. My hat is off to you, sir! Quote Selected
*update* - center console panel question - *update* Reply #155 – February 05, 2011, 08:27:59 AM Thanks.The panel height is the same as the factory piece, so yes, it is flush. As for lighting, it's going to depend on personal taste and which options your car has, as well as what you're going to use - the factory lighting, additional incandescents, LEDs, etc. For myself, I want a 'factory look', so that it matches the dash and interior lighting. I was planning on putting an LED at each feature but I also want the 'glow' from the vertical edges to accent the switches. I will probably take some work to get right, but then there will be a nice halo around each of the switches. Quote Selected

I am definitely in for this. Got some work to do before I get to interior, though. Plus I used all my play money for the short haul. I'll be PM'ing you for a 87-88 TC / two power seats and 'pull for up' on the window decal and EL plate set next payday. Quote Selected
*update* - center console panel question - *update* Reply #157 – February 01, 2014, 12:11:44 AM Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead but I've been looking at various ways to restore my switch panel. Are these overlays still available? If so, I'm definitely interested! Thanks! Quote Selected

*update* - center console panel question - *update* Reply #163 – February 01, 2014, 09:17:38 AM I was looking at that one last night but I guess it's the cheapskate in me, I can't bring myself to spend that much. :)I've been investigating creating my own decals with an inkjet. My hang up is creating those lines by the seat controls. Quote Selected
