ive been lookin around the forum to see if i could find some kind of alternative to getting an oem dash but i came up empty handed. i was wondering if anyone knew if there was such thing as an aftermarket dashboard for the s14 like one designed for a track maybe. i was in an accident a while back and im tired of lookin at this gaping hole in my dash. any suggestions on going about getting rid of the hole? or maybe pictures of how some of you have repaired the whole i.e. fiberglassing or new upholstery.:2f2f:

There are ppl out there that can repair these dashes, how well they look I am not sure. Keep an eye out at junkyards and buy one from there.

you can make you own Fiberglass or carbon dash.

first you have to make a mold out of existing dash. but the easier way out is to do an overlay on existing dash. fiberglass resin, lots of coats, c.fiber cloth (optional) lots of sanding/polising and it wil lbe beautiful

I was thinking about just cutting ripped peice out, putting a peice of carbon fiber over the cracked area and bolting it down with some type of rubber backing behind the carbon fiber. the glare might cause a problem but i think i can deal with it.

thats dumb. just do it right and fiberglass it. it takes time but even if people in the body shop can do it, so can you

if it's "track only" just make one out of sheetmetal. muscle car guys have been doing this for years man.

and if ur worried about glare, there's always felt or suede. or paint.



... or white tiger.

If it's really track only, saw it in half right past the console. Build a shelf and mount your ECU, gauge senders, and battery right there.

yea i saw that alwhile back, looks a lot nicer than i thought a mat would look like.

id just get a mat if i were you, or wait until you can find another dash, or if your man enough:keke: repair the dash yourself.

Drive your ass up north to the Fairfield pick and pull, we got like 2 S14s here and the dash are intact.
