Anybody out there have some custom center dash peices they've done?
I am working on something right now to hold the vents, CD deck, and climate controls. It'll be made out of fiberglass and painted black or covered in black vynal (sp?). I'll post up some pics when I am done.
Just looking for some ideas... I think a CUP HOLDER is in store as well!

i'm planning on redoing my dash also in fiberglass - but removing the vents and all the heater/ac components to fit what i want in it. here's a drawing of my concept. it's a before and after....




hope it helps - and good luck

yea props on the drawing..

TitosToy

thanks guys. yes it was done in paint and the original looks alot better. photobucket had to shrink it

deagle50ae

yea that's a cool design.

I decided against doing the entire center dash piece. instead I am just doing a mold for my CD player. it eliminates the ash tray and 12v outlet (will be replace with a different unit).
it's curing right now. I will get some pics up when I can get a camera. we need more interior fabrication here!

sweet. I like the speaker pods. ya do it all yourself?
I was wondering about making some pods right there but was worried there wouldnt be enough space... apparently there is!
are they 5" or 6"?

Yellow interior, I can tell thats not a daily driver. No ******* way I could stand that for more than a few minutes if even that. I would certainly have done something that matched with the rest of the car like a light gray or light blue. It hurts my eyes to look at those pics. Those speakers look like a 6.5

dennis blackstone

calm down darkknightfc this is just my prefarance you may like coffee but i dont ! everyone in this world is differant and has differant tastes i respect your taste in your 7 all the guy asked for was some samples of dashes

Actually, you didn't do anything custom to the dash (at least in the sense of this thread). All you did was paint it to match the rest of that hideous yellow accenting....

I'm pretty sure he was looking for pictures where people had:...not painted OEM center dash pieces.

deagle50ae

chill guys. it was still helpful to me in that it showed me I COULD fit some components on a higher sound stage than the stock speaker locations. It's his car and if he likes it that is ALL that matters. I wouldn't do yellow to my car either but I don't like ANY bright interiors (mine is a black/black convertible) it's still good to see what people are doing to their 7's.

I am glad he contributed in a way you two have not. don't bring you hater **** to my thread.

someone makes a carbon fiber surround. one like stock, and one not cut. 150$, which i think is worth it. if i could find it i would post a link

deagle50ae

yea.
I'm not into the 2-dimensional thing. gotta have some curves in there!

I will get some pics up tomorrow night... hopefully I will have it all smoothed out and prepped for paint by then. the heat is leaving QUICKLY around here

Fiberglass to the rescue!

as you can see it points at the driver so it's neato and sweet. lol

Not done yet, obviously, have a little more sanding to do... then I will be wrapping it in vinyl to match the interior.

I'll throw it in the car tomorrow for some action shots.

Whatcha think?

i think doing 3 guage cutouts right under the stereo, w/ the same angles would look pretty sweet... but the stereo alone protruding that far out of the console just doesnt sit well to me.... oh well, most people on this forum say i have bad taste anyways

i tihnk having the center radio and stuff facing the driver is kick ***. i knew this guy who had a newer supra and its the same way and i thought it was sweet. so props on that. it does seem kinda bare though without the ashtray and lighter and all. but tight **** either way. wish i could customize my stuff.

deagle50ae

I'm going to be putting an AC power plug under the radio as well as AUX inputs for my laptop. w00t
