Probably figured that the people who would buy a monstrosity like that would be searching under JDM....... (made in Canada btw....lol)

Good idea gone horribly wrong.

If there was enough interest. I could make a replacement dash out of fiberglass, hell even carbon fiber. I only have a right hand drive dash myself, so I gotta find a regular dash to use as a template. Could make some slight but tastefull changes based on peoples input for what they want?

good lord... even if it wasnt ugly, who the hell would pay that much?

its a interesting concept, a aftermarket (newer looking) dash in a FB would be pretty freakin' cool if it was done tastefully.

Thumbs down

Your right about trying to bump up the price.
All 9 Bids where placed by ID-z2592, and there is no other info or bidding history on this person.

Please do us all a flavor.
If you buy this Fugly Dash (Don't Tell Us)!!!!
I don't think I will ever get that Image out of my head now.

i would be intered if it wasnt to expensive. id like to keep the same guage cluster, but i would want the center to kind of wrap around and face the driver slightly, like the supra.

I was thinking the same thing. I love my supra's dash and the way it feels like a cockpit where everything is right in view. I'll have to pick up a 1st gen dash and then I can work on a nice classy replacement. It'll take me a few weeks. Then I can figure out if making more would take too much time/money for it to be worth it for anyone else.

Just as a random guess i'm thinking no more than 200 dollars for a fiberglass replacement that is ready for paint or upholstering? But I really have no idea until I figure out how much supplies are, then how it'll take me to make another one after making the first. The first will take the longest, but after that i'll have the mold and be quicker at making it. So we'll see.
