Harko, You want get yourself hold of a couple of 44's, since EPA has become strict, I think there actually making them thicker and heavier now. Well at least the last 6 I ordered were anyway.

I have 3 empty ones if anyones after them.

That has to be the most customized dash board ever seen in an EK, Harko!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
I love it (and want it!!)
Make my poor attempt at a custom dash look very ordinary indeed! :oops: :lol: :lol:

That dash looks awesome-doesn't look out of place either
