Gunna try this as well, have a couple different ideas floating around in my head, still waiting on my tubing here.....

Can't wait to see it completed! If its gonna look like what I think it will look like.. I know I am going to want this too. You are the man!

question though ofer. you're using circular acrylic tubing; were u planning on making it flush with the headliner? I'm trying to find bendable flat acrylic that will fit where the grooves in the headliner are, then run the wiring into the dome light and led shine through to the back of the car. We might have the same idea...

Also, correct me if im wrong, but if you tap into the yellow wire ( i think) behind the center console gauges, you can use the dimmer with the abl right?

I am going to cut a long slice in the headliner, it will stick out some but less then 3/8" all the way along the bend in the headliner, And i am thinking of making it multiple colors that can use a remote to change the color.

But first to make it work and look good.

lol not ready to cut up my headliner yet! well c what happens

As usual, another great idea. This is one of the things you were talking about? I think your biggest issue will be mounting the light bars so that the mounts aren't visible, it doesn't sag and the headliner doesn't take any of the load. I'm sure you've come up with something elegant so I will await the DIY.

Man I hope you come up with a good solution, this is an awesome undertaking!

Why hasn't someone made speedometer/tach gauge bezels like the concept yet? !!!!!

I wish the center HVAC vent was designed like the concept as well. It looks too unfinished in the production car.
