Default GM Carbon Fiber gloss dash

I just received a little interior upgrade from Gene at CULTRAG. Here are a few pics. I will say that it is flawless, kinda surprised me how good the quality is.

When I saw the word "gloss" in your title I thought "who would want that?"... then I saw it.

That looks awesome!

That's what the C7 should've come with from the factory. At least the Z51's and up...

Got it from CULTRAG on their Memorial Day sale. Install was easy just took some time. Biggest thing was having the security bit set to undo the radio/ climate unit off the old dash. I was not sure about the gloss version but now that it's in, I'm glad I picked this one.

I much prefer this over the matte-finish.

Can you elaborate on the above? Thanks.

Sure, you need to transfer over the switches, start button, and radio/climate controls from the old dash to the new one. The radio /climate part is held on using star screws with the center post, so you need to make sure you have that bit. Harbor freight has the set for 5.99 Has around 24 bits or so.

How does that compare to the factory version? I don't have a car yet, planning a July order and have never seen the carbon fiber dash in person.

Before only one option correct? Do you know the RPO codes? Here is what I found:

FAY.....Trim Interior (no other description given) No clue if this is carbon fiber matte finish
FCC....Trim Interior, high-gloss carbon fiber, instrument panel

I am having a hard time putting my 2017 order together without the Build Your Car on the Chevy website. There are things I don't have a good description of and some options seem to conflict with a museum delivery.

I know that FAY is the matte finish. The part number from Gene was 23307721
