I need a blank. No radio surround, no glove box and no stock gauges. Just a blank copy of an FC dash that I can cut up any way I want. Fitment is important since I'd need a way to permanently and securely install it on the car.
Material is not important (CF or FG, although i'm leaning towards FG to keep costs down). It must weight as much as stock or lighter (which isn't very much).
Part number 8 would be separately copied as a blank also (this would allow
GAUGES to be installed behind the surround (#8) and then could be used as a cover when parked to keep looky-loos from seeing anything interesting.)
As far as the gauges(tachometer): well, I haven't figured it out yet. Simplicity makes me want to stick with the stock cluster but if I'm rewiring everything (with the standalone) I could try and see if it's possible to use another cluster (aftermarket FD ones or something) But I have not researched this into detail. SO this should be blank too...
I was going to build a dash myself but I don't have the space to do it. The most important aspects of this request are that the dash maintain it's stock look ( I could go with an aluminum sheets but that attracts too much unwanted attention) and stock mounting locations, weight as much or LESS than stock and reasonable PRICE.
Any thoughts on this would be great. I'll look around for local fabricators but I figured you would know someone as well. One of the concerns I have about making my own is that since I have little-to-NO experience I'll end up making a HEAVY FG piece (like the guy on the evil forum) and I don't want to ADD weight...Just want it to look stock.
I really only need part #1 in the image....2-11 are not important to me....I don't need vents or glove box...
