LOl I love the sign lol... Make sure any passengers that get in read the sign first before taking a ride

Cheap light weight dash mod lol you should weigh it to find out what it weighs.

These things look terrible without a dash pad. Did you remove the metal that it covers on the passenger side, I can't tell.

Yep, I think you're the first person to put half a dash in their car.

so you have a sign for the HVAC cover, and stock inside dash metal, stock shifter. And cut the dash in half for weight? You know you can loose alot more weight going to a better HVAC cover, trimming the dash metal, and some other things you still have in there, with the full dash cover still.

the sign is aluminum its light, i dont wanna swiss cheese the inside dash, to much work last time i cut that i could see thru to my motor bay and i dont wanna weld anything in place i plan on cutting the out side cowl next, and im not concerned with looks, the dash and all that metal weighs about as much as the inside dash if i was to swiss cheese it, and i know i have alot left i have just started =)

Cool idea but it needs a more finished look to it for me.

The pedal covers aren't helping either

lol I've told him about 10x lol

I think he hasn't taken it off just because he hasn't got around to doing it... Because I sure as hell know all he cares about right now is... how much the car weighs and he wants to make it as light as possible.
