Looks great installed. What are your plans concerning the glove compartment, radio install. How does the original dash pad fit, assuming one has to drill the clip holes? Can't wait to see your gauge layout

no glove box ... we do want to build a custom center console , like the one I have in my Trekker . but if you want the storage , it's up to you to make something or modify the dash .


original dash pad is "moulded" into the dash , so you dont replace or use .. this is the whole point really .. just about ALL of the dash pads are toast , and very expencive to buy now as well most of the radio surrounds are cracked or broken , or hacked up , also expencive to replace .. this is a solution that will last forever .
if you want , i guess you could cover the top with vinal , or leather .. something like that ..

honestly ... I believe this is the beauty of a product like this ... USE YOUR IMAGINATION .. and make it yours !!

OK, good deal, I see where you are coming from. I made the assumption it was built for a resto or custom, and you know what they say about assumptions. Really like the console, should be a good pair to draw for a custom look.

I'm sold! Keep us posted on your console production. I have a feeling that ToyotaFiberglass is going to own me when I get to my interior and bed!

ok .. so I'm going to explain this one more time ... please read carefully !


this is a CUSTOM dash , not stock . There will be NO glove box , there will be no "woodgrain" incorporation here ... THESE choices are up to you , and for YOU to make work if you so choose . Those pieces will NOT just "bolt on" , you would have to "make them work"

the only STOCK piece you will be able to "bolt on" is the speedo guage cluster surround . you will also even have to make mounts to hold the guage cluster , but the surround WILL "screw" into place .. with some "trimming"

you can paint the dash , you could add vinyl to the top , dash vents , GPS , video screen, i'm sure you could even add a glove box .. but this is ALL YOU , and your "talant"


with all that said .. IMAGINE what you could do ................

Kawa,
Way to be "that guy". Instead of beating a dead horse we need one with a guy poking a sleeping bear with a stick!

Slacker,
This is perfect. Have you been reading my mind or something! My dash is beat to hell and my current "plan" is for a JDM 2jzgte swap and to use the aristo guage cluster that "goes with it". I was trying to dream up how to make this work then I see this product! Perfect! I can heve my radio in the dash now!?! No beat to hell wood grain with bad cut outs and cracks!?! Thank you sir, thank you!

any idea when you might start having these available and would it be just the dash pad only for the 84-88?
