Hey, Case. Can you post more pictures of yours?
I've been thinking about repainting my dash. I replaced a couple of those parts a few years back with new GM pieces, and they had a completely different kind of finish on them, so my dash is mismatched...

No mate, GM doesnt make any of the parts as far as i know, you cant even buy them from GM. The companies that convert these cars to right hand drive make all the parts themselves. The dash parts are mostly made of fibreglass, and the other parts are normally made from equal or better quality materials. (i say normally cause there is a few people out there that do rubish conversions, although its getting harder for these people to pass, they are still around!!)

Thanks for the pics! It's a little disorienting looking at your dash which is backwards but not a mirror image...
If you happen to run across a listing for Dulso post it up. I've never really looked hard for it, but I've kept an eye out for a few years and never run across it.

Yeah they call the conversion a "mirror" conversion cause all on the left goes to the right and vise versa, more so then cause of the layout of the dash, the light switch and the trip computer buttons stay on the same sides of the steering wheel, the top dash pad is very simular, but not quite the same. The door panels are abit different too (for obvious reasons).
Mate i had a feeling the Dulso product was a "Dynagrip" product, im not sure though, havent had a chance to look it up yet.
