yeah real money there. i bet bet atlest 20k becuase you will be paying for the name and the lealter... then you have to save your courage to cut to fit in a third gen... well i would have to. Good luck if you do decide to do it.

Think about it this way, thirdgens body is pretty straight but does have it's share of curves to it, plus, when you hop into the interior, it is all curvy angles anyway, so id say it fit quite well in a thirdgen

I don't think he means putting an actual ferrari dash in a 3rd gen, not only is that a waste of money but a waste of a Ferrari dash.

Ya he said a dash "like" this. He doesn't mean that actual dash. If I could learn how to make my own custom panels like that I'd probably make a custom dash myself.

I think that you'd be walking a fine line between tasteful and cheesy. On a thirdgen dash I think it would look like hell, but if you swapped a 4th gen dash into there, and paid a pro to do all of the leather cover work, you might pull it off.

well, I think a thirdgen dash is just too flat anyway to put leather on. If it had some shape to it yeah it would probably look pretty good.

those are the paddles, and the thing people are calling a "little shifter" is the reverse gear lever
