2008 Camry Dashboard by bimbor(m): 7:04am On Oct 11, 2014
Hello house,

Is it possible to replace the dashboard of a 2008 Toyota Camry? I mean to remove the dashboard and put another one with custom fitting.
Has anyone done this before here in Nigeria?

And how much does it cost?

Remove dashboard easy but custom fitting? Where do you intend to get it?
Re: 2008 Camry Dashboard by Jacksolo4me(m): 7:58am On Oct 11, 2014
Yep it is possible....Find a good auto upholstery and give them an idea of what u want done.

The camry dashboard is usually all bland n bare.

Mine recently was made savage love to by our prestigious mechanics n told me it was the sun that cracked it....it's either I got a new dashboard or just cover it up in 4D carbon vinyl.-which I did n it looked nice.

Won't the airbags deploy in an attempt to change it? Because I know the airbag is under the dashboard.
Re: 2008 Camry Dashboard by mayor2013: 9:31am On Oct 11, 2014
What is wrong with your old dash board. If you are buying another one its either it comes with airbag or not depending on what you want. But this also determines the price. That dash board should not be anything lesser than 50k

nO, the airbag won't deploy, the airbag sensors is on d front chasis close to the bumper, dats the only thing that can deploy d airbag and it has to hit with high impact before it deploys

Op upgrade ur dash by adding extra moulds and wrap it rich leather.No need buying a new onw when you can cut more holes in the existing one.U can remove and add.just use your immagination and do a reverse Engineering on it.

I think posting some pictures would do justice to the subject matter.

Sometime ago, someone paid 1.3 Naira to one of the Toyota dealerships in Abuja to replace his 07 camry engine. While some of us struggle to make money some don't and spend it recklessly. So @Lokomike don't be surprised.
Re: 2008 Camry Dashboard by chukel(m): 10:48pm On Oct 11, 2014
When I wanted to change mine, Elizade quoted 210k for me. I ran without looking back. An upholstery guy did a wonderful job for me and I have referred people to him. Below are the pics. He also refolded my torn front leather seat.

Wooow!! @Chukel give me dat upholstery's no asap pls!!
He made your car new again.

This is a pretty wonderful job for real....Elizade won't do much of a difference na. Na just their packaging go dey different but this auto upholstery really tried, if not that you showed me the "Before" and "after" pics I won't notice anything at all.

But does he have the dash material in different shades of colour?
Re: 2008 Camry Dashboard by bimbor(m): 2:01am On Oct 12, 2014

I can give u his contact. But the ish here is dat he is in the east, owerri precisely and I kn or presume u reside in lagos. He had the leather material for both the dash and seats. Luckily for me, they were an exact match. He can get any material and quality u want. As for the wooden grain, I did dat myself. Bought dem in ladipo. About 12k in 2011. The seat and dash was about 20k including leather material. Price may have gone up now. If u r still interested in the number, lemme know.

Since the Toyota airbag inflator and spiral cable recall, I must have replaced over 300 units. I've never disconnected the battery, and never had an airbag deploy.

I simply make sure the ignition is off, not due to the issue of inadvertent airbag deployment, more to make sure DTC's are NOT set in the process.

That being said though, it's a precaution to disconnect the battery before commencing SRS work.

If you're after the OEM dash fascia, then that isn't custom fitting, it's a standard fitment, your opening post is misleading. Custom would mean a different dash, built to a different, bespoke specification from the original Toyota fitment.

@Siena I beg your pardon, I mean the OEM dash fascia not custom fitting.

@Chukel I'm in Lagos. So we have a challenge here?

Did u travel to the East because of this job?

@Sienna u mean u can replace the dash fascia with a factory spec?
