Why would anyone want to do it?

Yes, fair comment, I'm not going to attempt to justify 4 screens. It's not the most inspiring I suppose however the Soarer came with a digital dash as standard and an EMV on higher spec models so perhaps not completely out of character. Do you think pod gauges sprouting from pillars or bolted to the dashboard are more in keeping or less in keeping with the original design concept?

Maybe the dash will still look bad when I've finished it but consider the later and even latest models equipped with EMVs. They employ a single touchscreen that the driver needs to keep pressing to display the various levels of information. More screens or a larger display would be far better, easier and safer.

I've never posted any pics, but I made quite a bit of progress with this car in the time I've owned it. I wanted to wait til I was 100% done, but here's one so people can get an idea of what I'm doing and give some input...

No foam. Everything is fiberglassed in. I'm still playing with everything a bit, and I've got more to do, but I'm just taking my time with stuff. Peformance had to come first, now it's onto tweaking the body kit and interior.

It looks way different in person. The picture makes it look like ****. I took it with my cell phone, but imagine that it would look the same with any camera. Infact, I didn't really wanna post it, so I might just take it down, and try to get pics that are a better representation of what it REALLY looks like. Might be kinda hard though.
