Anyone interested in making a carbon fiber dash
I don't mean the carbon fiber dash that just sticks on, I mean the whole molded middle dash piece above the radio controls and around the navigation screen. I know Rotarygod was working on a fiber glass piece which looked really good, too bad you lost the interest in it. I want one made to match the MS carbon kit.
BIU... maybe geminicomposites would be interested. I'd gladly donate my car for the mold, but I'm in NY and your local (Canada).
Thanks for any info.

If someone made it I would definately consider getting one. Plus they could probably make the MS consol carbon kit (along with all the other interior CF stuff) at a more reasonable price. That's my vote.

How about *for* the radio controls too? That seems to be a rare commodoity. Too many failed attempts on my behalf leaves my double-din receiver molding in my trunk. Where are those dash kits!

Center LCD part? Where? Haven't came across one.. but I would be interested in both the dash kit to host a 2-Din, and the nav part for a seperate screen too. I tried, but failed miserably...

theres only enough room to add a single Din.. A/C controlls and the Amb temp and clock buttons will have to stay. but the rest will be gone.. this only leaves enough space for one Din .

I haven't actually tried this, but (as suggested by someone else), would it be possible to flip the pcb boards around so the vertical one is deep in the dash, leaving room for the 2-din in front? The wires to the a/c controls would have to be extended, though.

This sounds intriguing...did I miss a thread elsewhere that describes this? Is your part going to relocate the AC controls, etc?

i know over at the msprotege.com boards, dgmotorsports would make parts if members showed enough interest and someone donated the piece for a while for them to copy. i know one of the reps out there, fairly well and if there was enough interest i could talk to her about it
