Best Dash Trim Ever?

So as we all know that the dash pannel is cheep and easy to find so i figured lets start a project.

4 hours later after 3 tubes of super glue heres what is I came up with.

Pretty sure I am the only person to do this ever. I thought i would post it up here for you guys to love or hate.

Im going to be clearing coating it today after I glue a few more collars on and hopefully be installing tomarrow.

It's kinda vw-ish, however I do like the idea lol. We will e doing this to the wife's eclipse just don't know what design to use. I've been looking everywhere for a large decal that already has adhesive on the backside to just stick it and cut out, better yet if I could find a place that could print a design on said decal.

unique, very VW-ish, but I can't say I don't like it.

I must be getting old cause I think it looks horrible... I just don't get the "sticker" look. I prefer clean, uniform coherent designs. But to each his own I guess..

Yeah man if it was a street car i would be in the same boat. It looks completly rediculas i know but thats the appeal. The car is being caged shortly and runs a 3 inch strait pipe zero mufflers. Its gutted out no carpet or A/C or dash mats all thats left is the tar and the doors are still stock. I will be making the switch to lexan so im holding off on messing with the doors till then. I figure if your going to have a track/show car it should have alot of charactor/ be wild/ fun.
