Biggest mods to dash/console

What are some of the biggest mods you can do/have done to the Xfires Dash/Center console?

I'm not just talking painting it, or getting a new **** for the shifter.
I'm really interested in seeing major changes, hand made equipment for creativity etc

The double din dash mod where you move the buttons and add a screen is the best mod I have seen, do a search...

Everyone can bash it all they want but it is the most useful mod done to the interior of my car.

Nice. Did you just pull the dash from an SLK?

Pretty much any MK4 VW. Jetta, Golf '99-'06 or something I am not sure. Mine was from a Passat. I got it from a local scrap yard.

Re: Biggest mods to dash/console

MAYAman, Beaner seldom visits the forum anymore. Rudy Compart provided him with the black buttons and HVAC controls, I think. They are from various models of Mercedes. The shifter boot is from a UK ebay vendor. The slots on the Crossfire trim bezel for the HVAC temp controls need to be widened. There are reproduction 3D printed console bins available on ebay.
