Give The Dashboard Centre a call. They can pretty much do anything you want. Just had the plastic dash/gear box surround of mine coated in a carbon fibre finish. They did a great job. :D

Very nice, what sort of dollars did this cost???

Well I had looked at doing this myself (sanding back and respraying) but was too scared that i'd stuff it up.

They quoted $500 cus they HATE having to peel the black film off the dash. They said if I did it myself, it'd be $300, ended up getting it all for $280. It is a lot, but just looks nuts compared to the half decomposed crap that was there. That also included a massive fracture through the entire dash and smoothing over the antenna switch housing.

I understand why they charge that much to do the peeling, its a crappy job, but if you've got the time, why not? :)

They need your dash for a week to do it, or 2 if they sandblast it to get the film off. They can do any kind of colour or finish you like, I would NEVER do it, but their woodgrain comes up a treat.

*edit - oh and my mate and I did the boot install ourselves*

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
