You got some big brass ones. No way I'd be cutting up my dash (hard to find a replacement if you "slip up")! I think the "hump" would look better if it was rounded and had 1 1/2 inches knocked off its hieght (so it hugs the top of the monitor more). Keep up the work...can't wait to see the finished product.
I completely agree, on the crushed velvet, . I would not have attempted this if I didn't have a spare dash console - I picked one up last year from a member parting out his VX. The only permanent cut is a 2" notch out of the dash nose, but with a bit of magic, it can be fixed.

I'm not kidding on the velvet either, I am considering trying out some black suede or something on this side of tacky to see if I could cut down the dash glare on the windshield. Matt black paint might work too...
I'm not yet going to go to carpet... eh, Larry?
