    I think you're dead on - this would be much much much better than a stick-on applique. What are the regular prices?

    Wow. Will they be whole pieces like thtat? I know they used to have a kit for the VX but it was the stick on type. A couple of people have it on this board.

    I'd say a rough estimate would be about 576 sq in for the front dash (assuming 4 ft x 1 ft). So that's $547. But if three people buy, the price drops to $317. But this is rouuuggghhh math

    I would like to have a CF dash, but not for anything over $250 and thats still really high. Randy are you planning on doing the entire dash?

    Me? I have no idea. Part of me wants an all-yellow interior to match the exterior, I have seen a few pics of that and I love it. But real CF would be great too I think.
