what do you guys think of my custom dash that i did?
I didn't like the gauge pod anymore so i made this. (took the idea from the XS celica)
This is the first piece i made, i'm starting something else in 2 weeks, that is the same idea but has a 5" tv screen and the 2 gauges.

it's made out of fiberglass. Im going to try to make one out of carbon fiber also.

I know it's not perfect, i know what i did wrong. so please be kind.

Nice idea. Obviously you know to improve the fit and finish. I think that it looks a little empty, like the gages are too small or you need more of them. Have you thought about molding a S-AFC there, it's almost a perfect fit. keep up the good work.

your 100% right, i didn't realize it would look like so empty. but hey it's not that bad. The next one is going to have the 2 gauges on top where the clock is and the 5" screen where the gauges are now. the radio is going to be molded in. so you won't see the mounting kit and the little pocket.


I might sell these but not right now. let me perfect it first ;)
lets see how the next one comes out.

thanks
