    Default VP Dash

    Hey guys, and girls.

    I was just wondering what the dash is exactly in a VP (Stupid way of putting it), but is the main part just a material, similar to lino? Or is it something else? And how would I go about removing it/putting it back on?

    Thanks

    its a plastic base with a vynal covering it.

    Its shaped like a canoe (sorta) and fits around the metal chassis.

    Its not a fun exercise in removing the unit..

    aZk.

    I see...I'll take it the "hopefully" easy way then...How does one take out the 2 air vents in the middle of the dash? are they just screwed in there?

    I was going to paint it inside anyway, but I wanted to re-shape it and do some work inside it, and wouldve done both while it was out...if its a b***h of a job i guess I'll have to do the work with it still in their, once i plan on how im going to do it...
