dont like it looks wrong, with the dials just moved over and the revometer still at the side. also the dvd/computer thing whats sticking out your dash looks plain silly, but good effort none the less

Would have looked alot better if you had the dvd mounted else where...so that area was straight and smooth.

Looks all a bit cluttered as mentioned above

And after all the time and work i would have thought you would have mounted the heater controls ?!?! a bit more discreatly

It could look really good but it does look home made if you get what I mean

Would look better with the dvd player else where & if you hadn't used all of the dial surrounds

Doesnt look finished though, I like the idea but the pods too big, needs cutting down and thenwith everything being smooth on the dash the DVD just sticking out of the dash looks wrong - should have hidden it in the glove box

PS door cards need re-doing at the bottom and hide all the cables and the inverter

Well its being changed again sometimes soon. as for the dials, i would prefer to have em in pods down the A piller, but i dont think u can buy digital speedo, fuel gauges.

Dvd playe wont go back any further cos of the heater pipe behind it

and door cards where only a temp, b4 i do some fibreglass ones

Will be for sale in the next few months if any1 is interested

A nice Effort. Work looks good.

Looks a bit "Blocky" though!

however yours looks a much better job than that other centre dialled one - the one like yours with the pod relocated and gaps everywhere ( not fears or chumbly warners)

I love the way you have moved the dials to the middle but left the housing on - can you actually see them from the drivers seat?

Not my thing but hey its different!
