Default Custom console and inst. cluster surround

Has anyone replace their center console and instrument surround with carbon fiber or a woodgrain finished pieces? Is there any forum sponsers that stock C-5 custom pieces? The only ones I've found so far are from tkoperformance. I've seen some smaller pieces in Ecklers catalog, but I want the whole surround. Thanks

sorry forgot the link to their web site carbon fiber selection. they are Forum sponsors, their thumbnail is down the left side list of sponsors.....
they sell a great product in your choice of colors and also have woodgrain.
I have been very pleased with mine 2+ years.
the cusotmer service was excellent as well.

Did you sent them your pieces, or did you buy your outright, and did you install them or did you have a shop do the work Any advice is helpful.

Your console looks fantastic but you have to fix the fit on the top right side. I had the same problem and improved it quite a bit but don't have it quite perfect yet. I plan to do some IC work and play around with another shifter and when this is apart this next time, I was thinking that modifying the actual metal slot that the tab fits into was the ultimate fix. I'll let you know if my huch is correct...
