[QUOTE=Omiotek;6755505]ive still only made the one in my car.
It doesn't surprise me, people in here are willing to buy crap to save 20 bucks. That dash to them must feel like rubbing a bank to buy it lol. I mean I understand, I was 20 myself (many) years ago, but I think that if the best thing costs 500 dollars (just throwing an example) I rather wait a few more weeks or months to keep saving until I can afford it, rather than buy something for 250 dollars that it's not worth a damn thing. Remember on that famous thread how many people told me that I was crazy because I bought your turbo that it was the most expensive, according to them I was supposed to buy something not as good to save 300 dollars.
I can tell that the dash is a masterpiece, so no matter what I will have one. When? Don't know yet, but instead of spending 100 bucks for a universal pod that screws into the dash that would look as horrible as death, I will save until I have the money and if it wasn't for the child support problems that I had this entire year, I would already have it.

Pulled the airbag cover off, drilled some holes, stuck some LEDs in, wired the LEDs o the steering controls, stuck the center cap on, and put everything back together
