Real CarbonFiber Dash.
I've looked and looked and searched all over, but I have yet to find a carbon fiber console...Does anyone know of any place that makes one!?
NOT the stick on kinds, I've seen tons of those and I'm not a fan..

Are these laminate coverings or a replacement piece?
Hell, I'd just like one that actually fits. My stock console piece doesn't fully engage at the top near the radio and looks like crapola from the passenger seat.
The center console design of the C6 is nice - the console cover fits inside the dash cover so it appears to fit much better.
This is the major sore spot for me on the C5 interior.

ive got one!
but it's not for sale..and it is real..rksport.com
also,it laminates to your exiting piece so if it sticks out now,it will stick out even more with this(try removing surround and loostening the screws behind it where the dash fastens and place a washer or 2 under it..it may help!)

I can't and won't confirm if RK Sport still makes the carbon fiber replacement pieces like they used to do...it's just what I heard. Your best bet is to call them up and get the real scoop directly from them.
