Very nice, clean install! Great job! Did you relocate the outlet plug or remove it all together?

Clean install, and a rather easy yet functional mod. Will the ammeter also have a red digital display? This way they'll match and look OEM. Keep up the good work

thank you, yes amp meter is going to be red display as well, as long as it fits I am going to put it in there, the simplest mods can sometimes make a big difference

i was not able to get a amp meter for in the space beside my volt meter install so i decided to add a USB that connects to my pioneer head unit instead of hiding it in the glove box it is now easily accessible.

Very cool place to put it. I had ordered one a while back, and I couldn't figure out where to mount it so it would look streamlined.

It took some work to get it that smooth looking, I used the housing for the plug that was there and epoxied the USB mount in and then lots of tedious sanding of filler to get it where it is in the pic then just sprayed it black with trim paint.
