Left: The stark emptiness of the passenger side of the 1985-88 dashboard can be a little overwhelming. It almost begs for something, and not just a plunked-on emblem either. A little creativity and you can make this slick light-up dash emblem. The base is the flip-around ashtray housing behind the original consolette. Simply drill a hole in the back and wire the bulb in to lights-on power (the wire for the clock is good for that), and then make a plexiglass cover for the front. The lettering can be done easily with cut vinyl. The white is semi-opaque so the light shines through nicely. Hardest part is cutting the hole in the dashboard for it, because once it's in there, it's in there for life. So think carefully about this before proceeding.

Left: This faux carbon fiber material, purchased from eBay, is very slick. Cutting it for the dash is a little tricky but the results are well worth it. It gives a very slick look to the dash and is a wecome change from the fake woodgrain.
