I keep thinking of ordering a dash and console kit and doing the same thing. Use it as a template for some carbon fiber or aluminum trim and return it.

But then I remember that this would not be honest ()

RETURNING THE KIT WAS NOT MY INTENTION, IT WAS ADVERTISED AS ALLUMINUM NOT PLASTIC. SO NO GUILT HERE!

Hey iceman,
Find the caps lock button and hit it. Some people here regard caps as shouting.
Have you got pics?
