Carbon Fiber Dash Kits..
I’m eagerly awaiting the release of EM’s carbon fiber dash & door panel inserts, but was also wondering if anyone knows of any carbon fiber dash kits. Mainly looking for the stereo & ashtray pcs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Helder

From what I have seen, what is currently available is veneer stickers, whereas what EM is working on is true CF, an actual replacement for the wood, not just a sticker to go over it. I am not too impressed with the CF dash stickers.
i can replace my cracked vents at the same time.. ill be waiting patiently for these....

Em is working on the carbon fiber replacement for the wood in the doors and dash. There are many companies that make the stick on dash kits. None of the kits I have seen yet include anything that goes over the wood. Two seperate things.
If I had a brown or tan interior, I'd go with a wood grain dash kit and leave the wood. My interior is black so I'm SOL there. I'm thinking some nice brushed aluminum would go well. I know a machine shop here that said they can hook me up on replacing the wood with aluminum.

Here's the Deal, I just found out that we just got these kits last week and we haven't got anyone to buy it yet, but I will get the pics as soon as the first person gets it. I will try to get pics of the uninstalled kits if I can "open" a kit up.

OMG, next mod. black on black with 5% tints, and carbon fiber inside will look absolutely stunning. It will be the knight rider of the new ages. 
The inside at night time will be BLACK. haha can't wait! hmm, SC400dude, wonder if you can do anything in the direction of a deal for CL members?
