Here's my DIY panel. I still need to add labels, but each switch it tied to the Megasquirt ECU. The various functions are:

Traction control ON/OFF
Boost HI/LO
Launch Control ON/OFF (connected to clutch switch)
Exhaust Cutout ON/OFF
Fuel Pump ON/OFF
Timing Map Switching for snap crackle pop on overrun

The big **** is traction control sensitivity. It allows more/less slip before it starts reducing timing/cutting spark events.

Makes it very convenient to access the ECU. Especially since mine is in the stock ECU position. I'm going to have to change it to USB anyway at some point when I replace the Microtech with an MS3-Pro. Well, I guess the MS3-Pro also has a serial port but sadly serial ports are starting to become inconvenient.

all these fresh panels

All of your panels look damn good. It puts my to shame by like, a billion.... Main switch with push to start, fuel pump and fan, gauges are coolant temp, boost and oil pressure. She is project "13b on 12a budget"

I'd been wanting to make one eversince I got one of the Retro-Spec carbon Fiber blanks. I never got around to it as I couldn't source any toggle switches that I wanted. I still had a full interior so the race-look wasn't fully desired. I was looking for something more stylized like on these concept cars. I've never came close to finding anything even similar.

No, it is a custom cluster. I removed the stock cluster, and made a kydex gauge cluster with aftermarket gauges that attached to the stock bezel.
