I'll be very interested in seeing it once you have put it in. Be sure to post pics. Did you have a link to this place? I would love this if it works nicely once you put it in the dash. I just don't know if i can do without my trim for a month!!! I wonder how much it would be to buy stock trim from the dealer? St. Charles maybe. Oh, well... Congrats on the sweet dash! I am looking to possibly do a center console like the one that is in the VX O2. I think i could do it with vacuum forming. I think thats alot of what takes away from the modern look IN the VX.

Here's the place: http://www.exoticwooddash.com/coating.htm
Here's the history: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...=&threadid=949

The carbon does look pretty good. I wonder how much of an improvement the brushed aluminum coating would give over the stock faux metal on the dash.

Or if they could do the carbon fibre treatment on the cladding without making it super delicate.

I'm seriously considering doing this. Be sure to post pics after the install!

the coating made the dash at least twice as stiff, but as for the cladding, it would cost a fortunemy guess 3k and i want a sc b4 that.

but cant do without their dash trim for a month... I called St. Charles and they gave me a WS price for the dash trim of $109.31. i also checked on the center console as may may be making a custom one, and i want to have a factory one to go back to later if a need to.

just thought the info may be helpful...

Did you get the trim re-installed yet? I can't wait to see it!

You can get an idea of how the dash looks by taking a peek at some Japanese owners who have done the same thing or similar:

There is one on ebay I think

Judging by the photos, Amack76's dash is going to look a lot better than those Japanese pictures.

It looks a lot more similar to our door pattern, which is really important to make the effect work. I could be wrong, though, because pictures can be mis-leading.
