my 02 had a big strange backup camera monitor in the dash. it failed and it was heavy and broke the woodgrain plastic dash. i had a new dash cad done and waterjet cut out of carbon fiber look thick plastic. and a aluminum backing plate to strengthen the dash. i did the piece that goes from left to right in 2 pieces. i repositioned the other things in the dash to make it easier to use. and added a usb charger plug and new 12v plug.
had to take the entire dash apart. it is like trying to figure out the secret tunnels and rooms in the Egyptian pyramids. my arms look like they have been whipped with a branch from being in the small places in the dash....ha
in the end i figure i had about 50 hours in it. you ask why so much. it took tons of time to do custom trimming. and fitting and heat form bending.
it turned out amazing. darlene helped me as well and we both said we will never make another dash....ha
here are some pictures.
the new owner is here to pick it up. more to follow on that.
