    Carbon Fiber Dash?

    I didn't know this was available? Looks a lot like Brent's.

    I know Dave Smith mentioned it may be available as an option or part at some point, but as far as I know, it's only currently part of the carbon fiber body.

    I have a customer that has been calling consistently for the past few months, trying to order one for his Coupe that's here in our shop. Each time he has called, the whomever he talks to has no idea what he's talking about. It's an option on the 30th Aniv. Coupe. Not sure they are selling them separate. My customer really wants one though.

    Here is the video where Dave mentions the dash as a possible future option. Skip to 9:30 in the video.

    Interesting comments. Another comment posted on Facebook was if you look close at the picture it appears the gauges sit low and are blocked by the steering wheel spokes. Might just be the angle the picture was taken. If you draw a straight line across the top off the dash they appear to sit 2 or 3 inches lower than mine. But again, might just be perspective.

    I would think it would make sense to sell these options as they have gone to the effort of fabricating them. I don't know how many CF bodies they have sold but that kind of exclusivity would be pretty expensive.

    The gauge panel comes blank, so gauge placement is up to the builder, but I agree they look low and there doesn't seem to be much room to work with.
