Default Dash ideas!?

So back to the rats.... I tore my dash all out the other day and found that they were also in the ventilation system. I am planning on also removing the heating and AC now too. The car is a 94 camaro Z28. Should just clean up the factory dash and put it back in, or does anyone think a dash swap would be worth while? Also, has anyone done any custom dashes with carbon fiber or aluminum? The car is getting a cage and stuff soon and will be strictly a street/strip car. I have looked for ideas and havent found much that was totally different. Im not talking about the stick on dash kits either. Post any pictures or ideas! Thanks!

i'd swap out the dash as the old dash looks like something out of the 80's.

Well my car is an LT1 car but the TA dash is wired the exact same as the 97 Camaro Dash. So i'd assume it would be the same for LS1's so all you have to do is remove your Camaro dash and bolt in the TA dash. You may have to extend a few wires and such but you don't have to rewire anything. The TA door panels will require you to drill holes and you'll have to do some wiring work if you want the power mirrors to work.
