Soul, did you do that work yourself for the gauges? Is that just a stock glove box that you have screwed in and cut holes for the gauges? It looks kinda like a fiberglass panel... insight into the how-to would be great.
mmmm, greddy peak hold....
! And BTW, Bulbasaur would kick Pikachu's *** any day!!!

the "plate" is made out of 1" thick wood and joined together perfectly! all i did was take the door off and keep the actual box piece behind it to hold all the little brain boxs.

Looks good. The fit is good but the wood grain shows through i think too much. Easily solved though. Just cut out some black vinyl, pull it around the corners and staple it in the back. You could even put some thin foam behind the vinyl for a padded look or maybe cut out some thick construction paper in the letters that make up SOUL ASSASSIN and glue them behind the vinyl then stick the vinyl down with glue so it fits tight and you will have a raised name either above or below the gauges.
The padded look would be sweet though. The gauges would hold it down around them to give it a form fitted look and depth.
If you didn't want the screws to show you can screw it in with some L brackets from behind but it would look fine just painting the screws black.
Where did you get than roll bar? Custom made or kit? Looks nice.

What about that roll bar?
And bulbasaur would get fried by Pikachu Rico05. Grass pokemon is weak against electric or is it just fire? Bahh Pikachu wins anyway.
