S-tech has a 3-D insert they offer for that spot, but it's ridiculously expensive.

Nice clean work! I like to see folks be a little more creative in their add-ons as opposed to just slapping on store bought items - which I readily acknowledge we all do but it's nice to see folks go out of the box occasionally.
Being an older guy (and having the extra time) I try to make my add-ons reflect a little of me - an example of that is I used several of the available blank switch spots on the dash to put in OEM look-alike switches but on my last DIY project I went back to the old school way by building my own simple switch panel with a couple of voltmeters to monitor main & aux batteries. I'm new to this forum so not sure if my picture/video efforts will turn out...

Okay, so I think the video plays okay but suspect there is a better way to do this?
