BoostJunky86 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 This looks to be getting awkward ha! Right so we'd need. Facelift Prefacelift Then; Auto Manual but they aren't specific to facelift/Prefacelift Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I think the gear surround panels are all interchangeable. An auto one will work on a manual, and a manual one will work on an auto I think (but won't fit the selector trim). But I would double check that yourself before making the assumption. Your pre facelift ignition panel won't work with a UK spec either, due to the aforementioned fog light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Just a different light switch. Any pics? Is it just that so if it made based on UK car everyone could have nice neat OE fog light switch on there dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyboyo1 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 just a note as previously stated ive done this before, you all would be better if you have carbon skinned panels, the weight saved from all carbon wont be significant enough to tell a difference but the cost will be massive if you go the all carbon route, even if done as a no profit exercise this job is days and days just for one panel. the molds for the panels will be a nightmare also and now your looking at producing 4 from what im reading? when i did all my carbon i just didn't understand how labor intensive it is and just how none workable and stubborn it is as a material in general.

ShawnPreece Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Definitely interested in certain panels... in for prices etc... UK's different again. Should put a jap spec dash in a UK spec Supra like me and you'd be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 'cause of the footlight switch in the ignition panel? Not just that panel no, the main dash panel with the heater controls is also different, and to confirm it it has a different part number molded into the rear. Should put a jap spec dash in a UK spec Supra like me and you'd be fine The last thing I want is to downgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will be a royal pain in the arse but worth a try is it not? Not worried about weight. Trying this first of it appears to be to much hassle, I'll change the group buy set up and get him to skin all the panels. Might be hard work making them. But that's not my problem lol just the price I'm interested in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostJunky86 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Biggest problem I'll have is arranging 1 of each dash piece to get to him fit copying .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Getting awkward already haha, Not sure how to work it. The different combos required could make it a real headache lol. Will see what the guys says. Waiting for him to reply Would then need to send him all the different pieces to replicate fit two weeks then send back to people then work out costs and sort out what people want...

The main dash is different on a UK spec? yep just the panel around the ignition and the panel with the heater controls are different on the UK spec, the rest are all interchangeable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
