Here's a tip: when you've dismantled the dash, paint the back of the dash white - or another light color. That will make fettling with the electrics behind the dash a lot easier when you've wedged yourself between the pedals and the gear lever.

About the pics: I love the look of the alcantara dash!

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?

You could cover the frame and make it look like this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) , the double curve hump took me two attempts , the second I made a cardboard template wrapped it around trimmed it
then layed it flat , cut the sheet metal & then had a sheet metal ducting place roll it , the same for the face , I took the dash frame to them and had them brake bend the face cover then I attached it with removable screws so I could scribe the radio hole,the glovebox hole & steering column slot , removed it & opened the holes, Bill D.

Lots of cool choices. Thanks for the ideas, pictures, and links. I'm gonna spend some time this weekend fiddling with gauge options first, then see where that takes me.
