Bringing back the patch, but much more affordable....

Hopefully, making it more affordable will get the wheels rolling.

Nice!

How are installed the rivets, in order to no see them from the top side?

No Rivets, screws from the back-side...

Ok good!  I thought I saw rivets on the picture.

Looks good, Ron.  But I think there might ought to be other uses for that area.  My 2015 F150 has a little bin there for sun glasses or whatever.

And some people have been looking for a place to put electronics.  For instance a transmission controller.  Perhaps there could be a bin with a cover that is held on magnetically?

Good point, I do have a "dash cubby" already thought up for that area, there is plenty of room for a cubby pan there.....

Are you still working on these dash speaker patches? I have my 80 F150 that I plan to start putting together as it warms up, and I got into 3D printing and design recently. I'd love to help out with this project if possible.
