Now this is from second hand knowledge. YMMV. Not valid with any other offer.

I imagine that once a working mold is created, fiberglass dashes can be produced rather cost effectively. If someone does the work and creates a nice working design, it can be fabricated over and over without the initial production labors (and costs). If coachreed (Randy) 's dash design goes over well, (and his idea of relocating the HVAC vents isn't that difficult) well HECK - we ALL might want his dash! I know I will (depending on cost of course ) I consider the dash design to be the weakest link in the car, i.e. the thing I'd like to see updated.
