try looking at the dash that Vibrant Performance has, it is a fiberglass unit and allows use of gauges and you can customize to your appilcation. Perfect fit into a civic.

Vibrant dash comes plain, that one is just shown to see what you can do with it.


Its very light and constructed very well. You can see it being used by Tien Suspensions to display their product and also Stewart-Warner gauges.

here is the one that Ive been working on during the winter...
Its not perfect, but it turned out nicely... Its fiberglass and it hardly weighs anything... I just wasnt happy with the current offerings, so I decided to try something different.
