Ok, Im looking at making the dash on my 2000 4runner have a Shiny look, like the color of my car. To get an extra dash so i can keep the factory fake wood one can i get a dash off a totaled 2000 4 runner at a junkyard or wherever they put those things? If so how much should ir run me and do i just sand with about 60 grit then bondo some sand smooth and then prime wetsand and have painted by pro?
thanks

If your redoing the entire dash, my suggestion would be to peel off all the vinyl on the dash and then fiberglass it. This will adhere the fiberglass to the dash better as well it will reduce the time you have to sand down the area.

just got done fiberglassing some panels in my car, i would recomend removing what ever parts you are going to fiberglass and either glassing onto them or making a mold to go over them, i wouldnt worry about gettin another dash, i would just make a mold and secure it descretly using screws or a light epoxy
