I'm getting rid of the stock vinyl covering on the dash face and would like to just do body-color metal. Thought I'd ask what others have done to deviate from stock, so show us your dash faces.

TIA

I'm sure you've seen this, before the new dash.

I like the body color match, some one posted one of a yellow matching dash, breaks up the black. makes it look newer.

Cool, thanks. Lots of neat variations from stock. I like them! I noticed that all put something over the basic dash frame. I was thinking of just painting the frame body color and not putting anything over it.

Here's a pic of just the frame - the metal cover with vinyl is removed. This would be body color with nothing else added. The other thing I like about this is the face height will be the same across the dash - instead of the radio area being lower.

Thoughts?

Why were/are so many dashboards painted Olympic Blue?

Both of my cars are that way and the one above ^^ looks to be that color too.

Not finished yet, but I used maple veneer.
Had to fill behind a little to get dash face flush with raised areas around switches :

There was a wood option at one point in time, was that a dealer item?

I went with the carbon fiber kit from maddog.

Seams to be a nice kit but I haven't installed it yet.

Wood dash kit.. Was maybe Amco ? Dealer installed option on my car.

Here are the pieces removed from the car.
The 914-6 gold leaf was added by a friend
many years ago. Not sure if it will stay ?
