Seen one done that way, and it was sort of cool... 20+ years ago. Now as an mod it's totally dated.

Your car to do what you want, but like others I would advise against it from aesthetics standpoint. Not to mention most of them crack to hell. As a matter of fact, if yours is clean you'd be better off selling it to a 4th gen owner. They go for $300-400, and that's without gauges.

I owned a 4th Gen, which I really enjoyed back then. But even I wouldn't put that 90s-styling craptastic dash in my 1st Gen.
