I think the CF dash has that lower drop section that won't work with the under dash panel, has anyone tried? will probably have to custom mount some separate panels IMHO

I have installed it on a couple of my own builds. I cut that whole area back to clear the switches that are mounted there.

Mike - How did you attach the panel to the CF dash? Or no?

If you are just looking to add mounting reinforcements (vs providing more real estate for mounting switches, speakers, etc) for the CF dash, two brackets are all you need since the CF dash is so stiff. I used two 2" wide brackets which also gave me enough room to get some switches and a 12v plug. The dash is rock solid. I initially tried using the Breeze brackets, but found that they were not long enough for the CF dash. Simple enough to make your own. I have found it helpful to have some easy access to behind the dash from the underside.

Thanks James. I did the same on the last build but think I’ll use the entire panel this time as I’d like to put some 5-1/4” speakers under there, as well as some cabin lights
