Never did care for the stock dash in the second gens. I also wanted to use one of the Dakota Digital VHX-1100 instrument clusters so I decided to build the dash from scratch. Did a cad drawing first, the dark areas are going to be carbon fiber with the trim around it 1/8 aluminum painted black. The 4 dimples will have the same stainless mesh behind them as the "rear seat" compartment. The vents on either end and in the middle are the Restomodair Synister style like the AC bulkhead in an earlier pic
Bent up the lower piece and temporarily supported it in place to try and decide if it was feasible (or if I was in over my head lol)
Then I fabbed these brackets to support the whole works.
The outer two are welded to the cage and the center bracket attaches to the factory center dash support
