Default new dash ideas......hmmmmm

i'm getting ready to sell my digital gauges and find some regular gauges with a black background...

well, i'm thinking about doing the larger speedo/tach and putting them in the stock location again......

i was thinking about finding a lower driver dash to use....or just tweek the fiberglass one i have..... not sure....hmmmm.....

since i'm redoing the center gauge cluster anyways i mine as well do it all over.......

i still have to sketch up the ideas.....hmmm.....

Yeah sketch some stuff up and post. I'm curious what you come up with, as I was never a huge fan of the current one.

something I would like to see is an 8" touch screen in the center dash with a GUI for all the gauges. Carputer to run it all, Nav, Audio, insturementation, all that. Put it on the display.
I can build it, but I don't have the programming smarts

i was thinking about a screen..... but not really sure what available to run the gauges/etc...

i figured a screen just to have a dvd player/audio...... but if there is another screen system that will show gauges....that would be cool....

i'm gonna leave the top dash the way it is....gotta tweek the sides to fit better with the doors.....

gonna have the interior all redone in black too..... figure black with aluminum elements would look nice.......

maybe i can do something cool with the passenger lower dash..... maybe make a glove box or something.........not sure.......

figure the center would be like a morphed setup with the gauges inlayed in the fiberglass........ but might not be possible due to the shifter......hmmm.....
