Panel Cutting, Transponder work, and initial panel assembly

Cut out the side panels from the carbon fiber panel base unit. Also match drilled the mounting holes in the ABS plastic test units that i received from send cut send into the carbon fiber panel. I have also had issues with the GTR45 (Transponder) and that it doesn't want to communicate with the axis displays. I connected the USB-B connector and was able to update it via the software available from Garmin's website. Thought the software might be not new enough to be able to talk to the axis displays per what is called out in the instruction manual, but it still doesn't want to communicate. Going to have to dive into the wire harness again to make sure everything is correct. Also got the center console arm rest match drilled to the center cover panel holes. Some minor tweaking still needed.
