I reckon it doesn't look too bad considering 99.9% of aftermarket dashes look terrible... good work mate...

dude, you could do some nice ones with pics in the back round. i know lot of guys would be more interested if you had like some other pics in the background. like maybe a Calais Turbo logo(badges type) as like a watermark(is that what they call em?) in the background. I mean dont get me wrong, the chicks are mad but a little bit tacky for most people on this site who take there cars oh so so seriously..

Get a high quality digi cam, then take your dash cluster out, then take a photo of behind the dash cluster. Fully sick see though dash ureah! Seen this done with computer moniters, a photo taken of whats behind the moniter then set as a desktop backround, makes the screen look see through.
