I have finally completed the installation of the new dash panels I got from CSR sponsor Scott Cambra at Vector Imaging:

The before and after pictures are attached. My appologies on the quality of the pictures as I am my abilites with digital pictures and computers are lousy.
I have wanted to do this for years and had researched a number of sources for the new panels. Once I spoke to Scott I knew I was dealing with a real pro and when I got the panels from him I was very impressed with the final product.
Between installing all new EL strips for the back lighting and swaping out the guages and switches I probably have about 10 hours of my labor invested in the project but the results are awesome. I used stick on fabric wire numbers to carefully mark each wire before moving the guages and switches and when I put it all back together everything worked perfectly. Scott has a very cool mod for the systems monitor panel that bascially leaves the LED indicators BEHIND the dash and shining through dedicated "windows" in the new panel. It makes for a very clean and water resistant design.
All in all I can not give Scott a higher recomendation for his product. The helm of my boat went from looking very neglected to brand spanking new.
