CF Dash...(but alas RHD)
It seems I only want things that we cannot get...in this case a LHD CF dash *sigh*. Sexy as hell and well worth $430, but RHD and you get raped on shipping. At least I can sit & drool...

The piece itself is only $437, however shipping will cost you $500-$950 & whenever you get "please ask" for a lead time it's going to take a while.

Might as well just use a vinyl overlay on a street car. It's useless as a cover and not a complete replacement dash and its useless on a street car as its not going to make any difference in weight unless its a strict spec race car and even then I've never seen a race car with a full dash so...... It's completely pointless.
Just use a heat formed vinyl overlay and clear coat it for the shine and you've whipped out the same look for $100. The first person that says it isn't real cf ask them how much awesome performance they are expecting you to get out of your $900 dash on your 20 year old Lexus.

Ultimately, if someone wanted to try it themselves you can probably do it and save yourself some money and gain knowledge.

I do love seeing a new part for our cars, but really? This is awesome and everything, but ~$900 for a dash cover? I'm really not seeing it.

looks pretty nice though!
i bet somone can make you one in the states if you really want one...it can be done. It just lays over the factory dash pretty pointless IMO but if thats the look you going for its all you
