Can somebody make a new dash piece with NO lcd?
 
I was thinking a cool idea for the people with corksport would bet to have a center dash piece made that didn't have the retarded 1982 LCD display.. I mean, if you have the corksport kit you really don't need it.. I can tell which vents the air is blowing out of without it.

how hard do you think it would be to do? I got big money for whoever can get me one :)

or do you think it might be easier to get a used one - cut out and glass the whole and then paint the whole thing to match the car... hhm I'm liking what i'm thinking - or maybe its the vodka...

*starting up photoshop*

I also wonder if you could take out the LCD and put useful information in that space.. like digital temp gauges for your oil / amp and stuff?

I have a source who can do that as well ;) It doesn't bother me so much though so I've left mine in place, I'd still like to be able to customize the display to read out what I want it too as far as the words and such but evidently there's a lot involved in that from what I'm told/searched.

that sounds like an awesome idea! Would the space be big enough to get anything readable into it?

Maybe A Turbo Timer Or A Boost Controller But You Will Probably Have To Cut Somthing Regardless
