Would you be willing to sell me the pieces? i'm willing to pay for shipping and whatever you think is a reasonable price. give me an estimate.

Here is a picture of the two parts. The majority of the small trim pieces were sold separately, so these are really just the main parts. The passenger airbag was popped on the upper assembly as well. Because of the size of the parts shipping is expensive. I just ran the boxed size through UPS and even with the discount that I get with them, shipping comes out to $102. If you are interested in experimenting with them, I'd be willing to let them go for just the cost of shipping.

In regards to the question of size difference, I took a couple of measurements. The overall width (at the widest point) of the upper dash is 53". The dimension between the two bottom mounting screw holes for the lower portion is also 53".

I just took a measurement of the dash in my car at the widest point. with the doors open, from about cup holder to cupholder, it was about 53" on the dot. same with the bottom part. but near the top around where the windsheild is its about 51, give or take a half inch.

I've been doing some research and looking at pictures of people modding their consoles/ opening them up. from what i can see, underneath the dash is almost the exact same layout. I'm more than willing to give this a shot and make a tutorial, the only reason i'm doubting that this might not work is because of the door panels, which i've already purchased.

The first thing i noticed before is that the door panels on the hb are a bit different in style and measurement. Im not too sure about measurements, i guess i'm praying it will work.

Second thing i noticed is that there is no way the hb dash will fit with sedan doors or vice versa without doing some modifications of my own, (meaning busting out my trusty dremel).

So i'm going to take you up on your offer, pm me Ct scott. I'm hoping you'll be able to help me out in finding all the replacement panels for the dash where the compartments go. In the mean time ill be changing the led's in my car, and getting familiar with all the nuts and bolts, and ill post pics up of my progress.

One more thing in regards to what you said about the connectors to the cluster. Are you talking about the Climate or the Speedo?

The speedometer has one different connector. The right one is identical, but the left one is larger on the Sedan (although the same number of pins are used on both and the same ones in the same positions have the same functions.
