Thank you!
it began life as a 3 ring notebook with a 'fuax' grain look. it was semi-stiff. I used the existing gap in the dash to wedge in the shroud. It's not glued or screwed. Yet it is solidly in place.
I was going to make one out of fiberglass.
there is a liquid that you can but that you pour over the existing shroud (over the driver's display). when it dries (but doesnt stick) you now have a mold that you put the fiberglass and resin into.
I would then have a center shroud in the exact same saize and shape as the driver factory shroud.
BUT when I found the notebook........it was just much easier! |

black and green
Here is my cabin, from left to right: alt switch, voltage, UG, trash (where cup holders were), iPod/phone charging stations, aux input (into modified cig lighter cover, cig lighter removed), injector kill switch, iPod (instead of 7lbs CD changer), flowers, tools.

They're real. I made a little bud vase. Bring a little of sunny california into the car, even in winter. Not very "eco" to kill wild flowers for my pleasure, I guess, but...

Sure I will bite:
My Mercedes 300D fuel economy gauge.
and my Jetta diesel.
I keep the boost as low as I can. Usually under 4 or 5 psi on the Benz and 2psi for the vw.

My Horn button and Fuzzbuster are just off screen  . The microphone on the column is for the Bluetooth calling on the radio.

Acura CL cockpit!
VAFC in front of the instrument panel,
Torque on Nexus7 mounted to windshield
GPS Navi via head unit.
Second pic is of the torque app screen. I've since changed a few of the sensors, but you get the idea!
