Default Where can I a find carbon fiber dash for my C3???

I'd like to install a carbon fiber dash kit in my 78, but I've had no luck finding one yet. I'd even make my own panel if I knew where to get it from. Thank for your help in advance
Vince :cheers:

Go to mid america.... make sure you order the correct one as the 77-82 all have different configs (i.e defroster, p/w, mirrors, etc)

I think the speedo and the center console pieves all told were ~ 163 out the door. Good deal and good service.

Is that stuff real carbon fiber or is it the vinyl look-alike stuff?

Just curios. Thats pretty cheap for real carbon fiber.

Resurrect this post - but the Carbon Fiber dash question has come up recently.

http://www.edashkit.com/store/p/234-...it-10-Pcs.html

Apparently it's REAL carbon fiber colour options. I would call customer service and get a third party endorsement if I could.

The problem is that it was cool in 2003, but in 2013 people will laugh at you.

I just recently took out my center console. After handling that flimsy, tired looking plastic...carbon fiber looks pretty good since ALL the wood designs I see really doesnt mesh with the vinyl/leather in C3s.

That being said, I've never seen it first hand...thus the third party endorsement required.

these aren't carbon fiber replacement parts, they are a cheap overlay that you stick on your existing dash parts. They are a single ply of CF with a flexible resin, not very nice IMHO.
