1303 dash.. the whole deal

So what do you guys think about the VW innovations (now called glass action i think) unique dash for super beetles? i was thinking about this becuase it can be had here in the states, but would rather like a Porsche 911 style dash but so far i have no clue on how to get ahold of one here. any one have opinions on dash options for a 1303?

Pics of things you have done or pics of other cars with non stock dashes would be cool, just to get ideas

Later
Jonathan

You can buy 911-style dashboards bij CSP, Kerscher ... the carbon fiber ones only from Remmele (so far I know but).

I have an fiberglass one for mine project.

yeah, CSP does i think. but to me it looks kinda funny since its just a cover over the stock flat dash panel. but you might like it so check it out.

Question more ?? on porsche dash

does anyone know if there is a source in the US for a 914 style dash? I've seen pic's and I think it fits the super beetle better than the 911 look, (my opinion)?

thanks!

john

i stripped the whole original dash and glassed over the bare steel.
looks cool and there's a place to set things now.

there's alittle surface rust from sitting in the garage since last winter but it will be finished by this spring... i hope

do these 911 style dashes simply fit over the 1303 stock steel dash?
Do you have to cut down the raised binnacle for the stock gauge to get it in?
I've been thinking of something like this for my '03, but mine's RHD, so it'll be a DIY job!!

They ARE the dash, not a cover. at least on the 1303's, now i have seen some for the metal flat dashed beetles and they cover over the existing dash.
