Alright awesome. that's what I was seeing online. I'll see if it'll fit comfortably.
The image handling on here could definitely use some improvement. Any picture I take I have to manually downsize in Photoshop since Photobucket crapped the bed.

First Test Print
Here is my first test print, complete with a couple of switches and mounted in the truck. As you can see, the angle is a little more aggressive than expected due to the downward slope of the roof-line. This causes it to block some visibility in the rear-view mirror.
I'm planning to update the model with about half as much angle of depression and I'll report back with the results.

Thanks! I put cost reduction high on my priority list with this design such that the parts will print efficiently. I'm hoping to offer it at around $40 shipped.
I'll also make an effort to find plastic that is interior colored, although there's so many variations of tan/beige out there that I'll have to ask around for some samples.

Looks awesome! Consider one sold to me!
Looks good so far! I'm curious - would there still be enough room/depth for the back of the switches if you did a version that was basically 'flat' - ie, same plane as the surrounding trim? I'm just thinking that after a use or two, you're going to know which switch is which, and not need to always look at them anyway, and that would keep it out of your line of sight when looking in the rearview mirror. Don't know what everyone else thinks...
Either way, looking forward to ordering one when you put them into production! Oh, and add my vote for a tan colour if you can find it.

Second Test Print
Here's a quick look at my second test print. Made a few fitment and durability changes, as well as decreased the angle. I think the angle in this version is perfect as it just barely can be seen at the very top of the rear-view, yet it is angled enough such that the switches can be read by the occupants.
Should be getting very close to completion now!
