I know its been done, with that one supra on supratrader, but theres no pics of it on there. Id like to do this to my car for a few reasons...

1. preference, I prefer the MKIV "hugging" dash more over my current MKIII Dash.

2. Color, I can get it in the stock glossed black like I already wanted

3. Modern, the dash is more modern and I want certain parts of my car to look that way.



Anyways, has there been any info on this, how tos or anything? I know its alot of work and time, but Id like to give it a shot, just wondering first.. where can I buy the dash from for a good price? And what will I need to make the gauges work?

Umm I think the speedo is electronic so... you need some sort of converter.

For what your going to spend to purchase a complete MKIV dash, all the custom fabrication and electrical work to make it look good.. you probably can.

I take it you have never driven or been in a MKIV...or you have big dreams...after all of the cutting and modding to even make the dash pad fit, it's going to need to be repainted anyway.

To be honest, no Ive never been in one.... yeah this makes me sound REALLY bad haha..


Ok this just comes from the fact that I just want a lil more modern look to my interior. If I could figure some parts out, I really want to get my interior, ALL black, redo the seats black with red stitch. LED blood red gauge cluster and CC. TRD Shift Knob with short shifter. I want my interior more clean than it is and I need a new Speedo cable, the one i have wobbles the needle sometimes.... I just want it to look nicer, I hate this burgendy color.

That's a whooole lot of custom work. I don't think the round swooping dash will go with the lines of the MKIII as well. But I'm definetly interested in seeing this. Good luck, and don't forget pics.
