Dash Project
Permanent LCD Install

To be honest, I hate the dash. It drives me crazy. Seriously, it feels like it should be installed in a VW Beetle or something.

As you can see from the picture, the Dash is my #1 enemy, and I have ripped the center dash cover out.

This was my look at potential fabricating a new dash part. In the end, I decided it wasn't my time to begin custom fabricating dashes.

Here are some pics from a couple different angles. Let's call this Franken-Dash since it's in such an unfinished state.

As you can see from the pictures, 2 of the 5 air vents are covered up. This will mean permanently capping them leaving me with 3 working air vents. It's a decent trade-off. You would dump the annoying dash and trade 2 vents for 1 screen.

Hey. Im looking at putting a Carputer in my galant, I am looking at taking that laptop rout, but leave it dedicated. My problem is the monitor. I cant exactly mount it in my dash if you know what the new interiors look like, or if you take a few looks at my interior. Did you happen to come across any mountable LCD mounts or have any thoughts reguarding my monitor install.
