It is a nice attempt, but glassing that kind of shit is hard. If I ever went that route I would say forget trying to make glass the trim flush with the dash and I would make a mdf ring wrapped in black leather. It wouldn't follow the lines of the dash but it would be straight and flat.

You guys dont' like my setup 
...although the Fiberglass actually looks worse in pictures because of the reflections. I wonder if it looks better in person.

Let me help you!
at least it's unique ;-)
It doesn't look so bad...if i were still younger and poor, i'd be happy just having added another functionality to the car.
I think it might look better if it were tilted up a little bit...seems like it's showing it's info to the shift knob
