I vote for carbon. I'm finishing up a carbon fiber dash that looks great
(if I do say so my self). Grass Roots did this with the Ro-Spit. The gage
bezels have been changed to silver which works real well against the carbon
fiber. I still have the original dash if I chose to move the car back to a
more factory look. This is not a hard project to do but it has taken me a
couple of tries to get it right. I'm going to work with some left over
material to develop a better process which I will share with anybody that
wants to know.
