An idea I always had, but due to limited resources cannot accomplish, was to add monitor screens hooked up to cameras, instead of using mirrors. So, instead of looking into your side mirrors, you can look down at a screen and see behind you. I always wanted to do that, and that is kinda crazy. Just an idea for ya!

first off, if it were me i would hide the cluster some were, and then run all aftermarket gauges.
just enough to have the needed info, but to clean up the look a bit. as far as the tvs for the mirrors, and the reverse, if you wanted to spread it all out, you could have the reverse in the center below were you have the cluster sitting now and then a tv on either side for the mirrors, or more of a cleaner idea, i would throw one large screen in the middle and have all 3 up there on that one screen. then throw like a 6.5" speaker up twards the corners by the winsheild on either side. i think that would be pretty clean. maybe add in some components some were

I'd do a HUD, or run the gauges through a LCD monitor in the middle of the dash. Then run two smaller screens, on the left and right.

I'd hide the factory cluster and run aftermarket guages in a custom cluster. Run wires from your factory warning lights to custom warning lights in your new cluster.

I've always liked the idea of the rearview cameras and monitors. I'd put one on either side of your custom cluster. The key to making it work right is to have the screen invert left-right so that it looks like the mirror would look.

How about installing a flip-up laptop screen in the dash, and molding the keyboard/CPU part of the laptop into a unit that pulls out of the dash, or something like that? If you're good with computers and electronics, you could tie a lot of things into the computer, like the rearviews, etc.

The side mirrors could be shaved, the grey things in the corners would be LCD screens that are hooked up to cameras to be used instead of the mirros.

The center could have a large LCD screen, which would display your gauges, aswell as play movies, ect.

Above that, could be a storage or glove box, that when closed would be flush with the dash, but when opened 2 controllers and maybe games? The things to the left and right of the box could be controller inputs to plug the controllers into. Those could be fiberglassed flush or frenched into the dash.

Finally on the passenger side, that grey box thing in where the glove box normally is, could be a airbrushed box on the dash, which would list your company and the mods done to your car. Any airbrushed image would be cool there too, but I haven't seen a mod list inside of a car airbrushed on the dash.
