Custom dashes... Post Up Pics!

I'd like to see pics of custom dashes, and pics of stock dashes that have been glassed or smoothed and painted. I'm getting ready to start on my dash and I can't figure out what I want to do just yet. So if you got pics of your dashes post them up please.

Let me rephrase the question: I'd like to see pics of custom dashes out of 94 and up dimes, and pics of stock dashes that have been glassed or smoothed and painted out of 94 and up dimes. Like I said once before, I can't figure out what I want to do to mine. Could somebody, or anyone post up pics of there dashes.

Re: Custom dashes... Post Up Pics!

stock style glassed. shaved 4x4switch, airbag switch, lip around gauges, the top mounting hole above the cluster.





now, glassed with a screen where the airbag was, the dip in the middle shaved, audiobahn speakers molded in with tweets as well, shaved side vents. the bezel, 07' grand prix vents, plus everything the other one had.

Actually, it's pretty easy to smooth out your stock dash, It's more time consuming than anything, but once you get it sanded just take it to a body shop and have it painted. If you have any questions on how to do it, there's a How-to on this fourm, here's the link: http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f200/s...terior-327136/

Re: Custom dashes... Post Up Pics!

thanks for the compliments guys. the blue dash is no longer. had a major crack in it and wasnt holding up too well. everything will be painted again, just waiting til im finished everything i want to do then paint it all at the same time. color wont be the dark blue, since the truck is no longer that color. although its a sick color!

If you want your dash to look like the blue one, all you do is take the dash out, most of which is plastic, and sand it until it's completely smooth, then paint it. It's that simple, but I suggest you read the how to and follow the instructions exactally. Oh and yes the dash is plastic sanded smooth then painted.

That's cool, an Hombre Clone, I love the stock front bumper, in my opinion it looks alot cleaner than an S10 bumper.
