I need more space, and SSEi dashes are simply full... I filled the console, and added things to the dash panel (heated seats and fog light switches). Here we go..hold on to your Aeroforces..

More fiberglass has been added. It'* looking pretty good.

Though it'* not very symmetrical. I think we need 3 more on the other side. I'll add those while Bill is working tomorrow.

Looks good though.
