    Thanks I fixed all the scratches with one of those touch up pens. but now where I filled in with the touch up paint is higher than the real paint so I think it needs to be wet sanded down. I'll do some research first, but I would like to learn how to wet sand

    So the next project is to redo all my switches. I sold the 6 disk cd player but kept the trim so there was just a square hole and some random trim where the cd player used to be. So I made this faceplate for the trim and it will hold 6 switchs.[​IMG] I'm also redoing all my wiring to clean it up some and color code it all the same. Then I'm also adding 2 six circuit fuse box's (probably both blue sea systems boxes). One will have a single positive pole for stuff that is powered directly from the battery, and the other will have separate poles for each circuit for stuff that is powered off the stock wiring. Then I might put a USB port at the bottom of that switch panel to. I'm also gonna make a relay panel to hide somewhere and mount all the relays too. There is quite a bit of space under the cup holders in the center console so that's where the fuse boxes will be and the wires will run under the carpet.

    Looks like a great plan. I just put in one of the Blue Sea boxes under my hood, love how well built and simple it is.

    Thank you. It's just a piece of 1/8 inch wood as a a face Plate right now. I may try to get a new one 3d printed at school just to make it look a little nicer. Those blue sea boxes are nice. What do you have wired into Yours?

    A few things...

    Lights, hood lights, backup lights, backup cam, gauges. Will be running a second one to my tool box for bed lights and air compressor

    I would throw the cubes into the lower bumper next to the license plate and run four 6" HIDs behind the grill. I love my HIDs, nothing compares for distance.
