Bob,
Prestige # is 408-370-3705, fax 408-370-3792. I just purchased one and
installed it this past weekend. Although I have not gotten to the rest
of the interior as of yet.
I purchased the Prestige dashboard through a Triumph supplier in NC, a
beautiful walnut veneered hard wood board which is and will continue to
be the focal point of the interior.
I also spoke with the owner of Prestige, I believe his name was Randy.
He is now in the process of starting a run of new boards, it will take
about 6 weeks to finish the run (the reason I purchased from the NC
supplier). He took at least a half an hour to explain his process and
was willing to send different veneers for me to chose from. He likes to
make the interesting and wild looking boards, since he has made so many
basic show quality walnut and teak units. He also makes standard boards
for some of the big 3, (I believe VB & Moss), and claims to have made
over 16,000 dashboards. The cost of the standard board like Moss or VB
supply is around $230 - $250.00. The show quality, high gloss boards
where you have a choice of veneers should run between $330.00 to
$400.00. Not really a big price difference when you see the quality and
incredible look of these dashboards.
The boards are made to exact design specifications and line up without
any problems. When you install, make sure that you do not tighten down
one screw and then go to the next --- insert all screws and try to keep
the pressure equal, lightly tightening one then on to the next and next,
then tighten the first again and so on, slowly bring the board tight
against the metal dash. This process will ensure that you do not crack
the board.
