that picture your referring to was custom made. so unless you know how to work with carbon fiber, you might want to get in contact with that particular member and see what they would charge if they are willing.

best advice I can give is to just make your own out of fiberglass. Its really not hard to do. Also search for the thread titled "inspirational interior pics" or something along those lines and you will see that particular dash and who the car belongs to, contact from there.

No problem. Easiest thing I would suggest, find a cheap gauge pod holder on ebay, cut it to match the stock dash trim lines, and use it as a mold. or find a used, kinda rough condition dash trim piece, and cut it, fit the pod holder from the rear, fiberglass the front smooth, paint, install...

just gave myself an idea too, lol..g/l, keep us posted on what you come up with.
