I finally got my new panel. It took almost 7 weeks. After all those lies from the owner (Alan) and his employees they finally sent the new style. I called and emailed every day for 2 weeks. They are yet to return any email or phone message. I finally got someone to answer the phone, go get one out of the warehouse and send it to me. I told her the whole story but she didn't care in the least. She offered no explanation for all the problems or the lies.
The new panel is slightly better by design. The gauges don't point at my waist anymore. They point where they should but all the other problems are the same. It is still a flimsy piece of plastic. It measures the same thickness as a quarter. After some cutting and bracing I think they will look fine. Not $1000 worth, but acceptable.
The bottom line is this...This is a low quality and overpriced product. But by far the worst people I had to deal with on this truck. Anytime you deal with a business or people without ethics or a moral compass, you will be sorry. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
