Damn, I need to get into 3D printing. Where do I learn? That's pretty cool. Can you 3D print more or less the same texture as the OEM panel? Or does that require more of a mould?

Looks awesome.

My only suggestion might be a darker color to blend in better. Would look almost factory.

tinkercad is an online free Autodesk app and very very easy you should try. Texture is possible while designing and slicing steps. I will try at future projects. This is for test made from PLA. Here is vey hot and now its summer. If it melts or deforms i will try printing with ABS with texture and maybe darker color.

I see that vent now. Not as familiar with your interiors there.

Looks good.

Okay dumb question time. This is to control auxiliary lighting? Pods, light bars, etc. Looks good and agree that a darker color would make it a bit more incognito.

Nice to see more 3D printed stuff in the forum. You can look for some matte black filament online and add some texture in your CAD or slicer software. You can also try with some rubberized or textured paint.
