Default Custom background for dashboard ?

Hello guys !

I'm asking if it's possible to fit a F360 dashboard background (like rpm) on a 348 ?

Or if it's possible to find a PERFECT custom shop for backgrounds ? Because to me it's the most "bad looking thing" in the car .

And finally , do you think it's a bad idea ?

have see this done.....don't have the links or such as wasn't involving something I could do.

BUT, 360 to 348 is a bit of a stretch IMO....my T has that type of dash.

Post some pics of 360 dash changes you would like and then your 348 circled, Use a Paint or such program, and let us see more specifally what you desire.

can go from there.

Here is a picture of a 348 complete dashboard (not mine) and under a picture of a 360 modena complete dashboard :






The only "problem" is the redline , 1000 rpm more for the modena , and i think the 0 to 1 000 rpm a bit short !

Do you think it's possible do put a compelte dashboard , and to calibrate it ?!

Who can do that ?!

Wouldn't it be easier to ask someone to make you a background that perfectly fits the 348, but using the design of the 360 background for inspiration? That way you could keep the redline where it is. A good graphic designer could do it in half an hour, and you would just need to get the design printed onto a reasonable quality plastic which could then but placed over or replace the background that is already there.
This might sound simple, but why make life difficult?

guessing you 'could' modify the presentation to redline it at that mark, but then all the rest would be off.

Modifying the mark so show redline earlier is better.

If not a custom artist to modify, then may I suggest.....or better yet: buy the 360

Yes of course i'd like to do that , but i couldn't find any professional designer in France (on internet) to make dash background .

I'm open for any adress !

Hehe , if i could buy one i think i would not disturb you here with my crazy ideas !

Well , i just want to change some basic parts on my 348 , not to make a full 360 modena "replica" on a 348 !

You would have issues with speed sensors, etc. to install a complete panel.

The 360 has a more electronic instrument panel, and the backlighting is a flourescent film.

What exactly do you want to do?

I sell 360 dial faces. Is it just the dial faces you are after?

Yes i'm looking for the dial faces , but only if it fits on my dashboard , do you have some pictures ?

It would be good if you could make a scale on the picture so i can see if it can go on mydashboard !

Do not have 348 dials and it would probably be too costly to do for the amount that would sell.

360 dials sell regularly but artwork costs were considerable and ours are far superior to any others being sold. They are lexan, and ther are no lighting hot spots. We are even offering the Scuderia face!

The one you showed above went through a recall due to product issues. We do not have those problems.
