[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432612, member: 18789"] When I was looking into it I was looking into DD's full replacement dash which kind of replicates the stock shape, but with metal. It truly is a full replacement in that all the old plastic and panel comes off, and the new one goes right on as an entire replacement and has grilles for the defrost duct and stuff. That is around 800 bucks total powdercoated, and then comes the gauges and switches and everything else I'd want. It would totally be awesome and I still may do it someday to get away from the stock stuff, but for now just too much work and money. Some things I would need to figure out too would be how to hook up the gauges to where they can be dimmed. I believe for the speedhut gauges I would want, they would need to be hooked up to a proprietary dimmer setup which I'm sure I can handle wiring but it adds to the workload. At this point I'm trying to finish up some custom wiring in my dash already and it's a pain dealing with it so we'll see, maybe in a few years. Just want to get back on the road for now, then maybe that can be a quality of life upgrade I do in a few years. It certainly would be awesome no doubt. The ability to go custom like that would really be cool. [/QUOTE]
