Default Front Console Problem

I won't go into the ugly details but I screwed up my dash on my 04 convertible. I was thinking of buying an overlay kit (CF) from B&I to solve the problem. As an alternative I looked into buying a replacement part. It seems they no longer stock this part, at least the GMparts distributor in Scottsdale AZ. Anyway, has anyone had an experience with the B&I dash overlay (3D)? Also, if I found a replacement part, any ideas what it would cost to get installed?
Thanks

Are you talking about the trim piece that surrounds the radio w/ash tray or the console that has a lid/armrest?

The part around the radio and gear shift, one piece.

I'm not familiar with the CF overlay kit that you speak of.
I personnnaly wouldn't apply it as it looks rather "cheapped out", & would most likely not stay in very good condition, once applied.

Spring for a true CF unit or have your's taken off & refinished with paint.

If you buy another one , it would cost approximately $50. to 100. for a shop to remove the old & replace with the replacement.

It is a very easy job to do & there are multible write ups on how to do so.

Used radio bezels come up for sale here on the forum quite often and at usually decent prices. I bought one late last year for a good price. A double DIN from Dennis would be a good way to go also.
