i think i like the way you had it before and with the OEM gauges. it's just a lot cleaner look that way IMO.
looks clean on the outside as well.

Awesome job!!! I really like it a lot. Really elegant looking.

Now you just need to add a koi pond in the trunk.... kidding lol

did you paint that your self?? if not where can i go to get it done, thanks....

That is awesome. You going to bring the Koi theme to the outside too?

lol pimp

i just thought of something..you should have threw in nemo somewhere on the dash

i like the first pic... not too busy

Awesome work man... I dont think most people can understand the time and complexity it takes just getting the dash prepared to do something like that.... A++++ on orginality...

the main reason i changed designs was that i found a new clearcoat. the first design i used duplicolor clear and the durability isnt great. the new design i used spraymax clear. awesome stuff. i recommend it to anyone that wants to clear anything.

yes..i painted that myself and used acrylic paint, tamiya modelling paint to be exact.

i want to keep the exterior clean so no koi theme outside.

and thanks for the comments..i wanted to share since i know everyone loves pictures lol

DANGGG.. lol thats nice.. are you doing the HVAC and the Shifter surround too? i see that's primed.. tamiya huh? lol paint gundams?

i say you do scales all over your car.. and fins.. therefore its like a boxy koi fish.. lol.. or you could do more of your interior in koi.. :shrug: just ideas.. . but i like it. and i see you everywhere!.. well mostly when i bump into you on valley

hey sinzz..when are u free.. i still want to take some pics if ur rumion..:)

im keeping the HVAC and shifter plate flat black..i want the focus on the dash and not the accent pieces..hahaha

No KOI on the exterior ..i wanna keep the exterior clean.....

Any word on those tail lights that ur company is developing that i read from another thread?

lol for sure!.. maybe this weekend? or monday? im free then.. let me know.. and i'll wash my car.. hopefully these clouds go away.

why are you keeping those flat black? im sure it would flow if you did those too! but of course whatever you want to do with your car is your call. but i think it wouldnt look bad with a few more koi.. =P

fine.. keep the exterior clean XP

no word on those yet.. but they wont really fit with the xb's rear bumper.. thats about all i know so far

I must say..I dont know you and I dont like you...LOL....That it SICK....I only wish I had the time and skill to do that...

WOW that looks great! How did you get the bumps on the dash from not showing up?
I like your headlight LOL

hey whats springs are you rolling on?

those are TRD springs

M-AY-ZING

Nice work on the dash :clap: very original and give much respect & props for the DIY. I know you mentioned about not over doing the whole koi theme but have you giving any thought of redoing the back of the hatch. The black piece on the inside is a pretty big canvas for you to work with. Doing the back piece would help even out the koi theme with out over doing it I think.

wow! awesome. the gages are a hit and miss with me though. keep the exterior like that! are the headlamps painted?






now i want a felet o' fish.....

i am guessing you took the whole dash out of the car so you could paint it, could you post how to take it out cus i will like to know, thanks....
