    Thumbs up VK dash change

    in a my vk commodore i want t change the interior to something newer (dash wise). i was wither thinking of a wrx dash like in VB commodore CHU-88Y or is there a dash in one of the newerish commodores that are easy to fit. or are there any suggestions

    thanks

    from what ive seen of other members rides, vl dashes arnt too hard to fit. but anything newer requires modifications. i remember one of the guys here had a vs dash in his vk. nicely done too, barely anything on that car was stock. have a look through the my rides section and see what you can find

    putting any different dash into a VK will require ALOT of customisation, new mountings, chopping, lengthening, shorting, rewiring, re fibreglassing/remolding, recovering in vinyl. alot of time/money will also have to custom fit the front door cards if installing one like the new commodores as they are all part of the dash and will look very funny without them, for me myself later on im just going to cut a peice of plastic to fit inplace of existing guage cluster and cut holes, install a autometer set

    even putting a VC dash ion a VK is a bitch

    best bet is to save the bikkies and buy/create custom guages

    IMO
