What painted stuff? The dash kit would probaly be exspensive... And i don't know how you'd mount it, I dont think molding all the clips and screw things on the back would be easy to make.
I think he was saying he was tired of paintd dashes.. and wanted a CF dash kit.

This company makes them, however.

Not the news everyone is probably going to want but i got the news back today that the Carbon Fiber Door buckets are no-go.

The cost of the mold is too expensive and difficult due to the curves of the mold it would require a two peace mold.

Sorry for the bad news guys. I was really excited about this one and now i have no door buckets!
