I wrapped the whole dash, glovebox and panel under the steering column in soft leather hide. I'm afraid I don't have any photos of how I created the crash pad and switch bank. . . I was too busy swearing and regretting I ever started the project at that point! lol It cost me over £350 to create this look and took me around 60 man hours (including all the trial and error).
Oh and the heater controls are in the glovebox (before anyone asks)

Well done, this is the kind of DIY I like seeing.
That is some dedication. It looks really good!

Most original dash I've seen.
Miata family: '93 auto "Blacky", '99 turbo "Frankenstein" and '05 Mazdaspeed.
This is by far the most creative dash I have seen yet. Awesome job!
I'm with Grip Driver. That is the most creative custom dash I've seen on a miata. Super clean. Very nicely done!

Thanks guys. . . I have to admit though, I was standing on the shoulders of giants. This japanese interior was my inspiration. Credit where credit is due.
I just adapted the overall look with a few tailored modifications of my own (crashpad/switchpanel and carpeted tunnel).
^I'd eventually like to find a spare NA dash and do something similar. I'm still messing around with center console ideas though and where to put the window switches.

Too much white?

^It doesn't look bad per say, just looks dated. Plus I'd imagine it'll be annoying to keep clean

It started with the white gauges in an all black car and I went from there. If I continue the black/white theme throughout I think I can tie it together. It's the radio surround that bugs me. I can't decide if I should do the vent rings or not.
Fitted a harness bar today. Good excuse to show a rare shot of my car with the roof off!
That car makes me hate my life, lol
