but would like to see more of them.

There was also one with some 12v Accessory ports where the radio goes and an inverter hidden in the glove box. I'd love to see that one again but can't find it.

Yes I'd like to get some ideas too.
Not to jack your thread but I had an idea and wanted to run it by you guys. I'm going to redo the hvac in my house and will have a lot of the old square ductwork left over so I though of recycling it to make a center consule between tunnel and dash for how knows. wheels are turning :twisted:

^^^ I like that!

I also like the diamond plate.

My dash above... The PO must have been a redneck cause the backing plate for the Tach is actually a license plate hehehehehe. What ever works I guess.

Does this count?

Has anyone seen or used this http://www.vwinnovations.com/bug.html#unique?

I really want the dash from the brazilian baja build thread but he disappeared before he said where to find it or if it was custom

\

The glass action one looks very similar but i was just wondering if its thick enough and how well it fits.

Looks too much like rice to me...

Thu Mar 04, 2010 8:39 am

This is the "race" model. The "rice" model has neon lights and bobble heads.

[quote="83_WabbitGTI"]^^^ I like that!

I also like the diamond plate.

FYI in Europe we call that particular ally sheeting "5 bar tread plate" in case you search it. Its available from 2mm to about 6mm thickness. Most off roaders here are covered in the stuff for scratch and dent protection ! :|
