If you are looking for the factory CF dash option. Bob Wendorff at Fitchner Chevrolet has the best shipped price on it of any of our forum dealers and he has arguably the best service. That's where I get all my GM upgrade and OEM parts from and that is also where I got my OEM carbon fiber (FAY) dash from.

If you want aftermarket, then Apsis is the only other option but be prepared as the Apsis stuff is very expensive but the quality is second to none.

I'd say if you have the extra cash, go with the APSIS, their dash is IMO, much nicer than the factory CF dash. I have the factory OE dash already or I would get the APSIS in a hot second.

I wish the FAY CF dash included the steering wheel and console. That gray plastic looks out of place once you install the CF dash.

But not doubt the CF dash is sexy and will be on my short list of interior mods to include some of the 3LT dash trim pieces to take the 2LT up a notch.

APSIS also sells the pieces your talking about, I don't have them yet but pics I've seen on this forum indicate it's a perfect match for the factory carbon fiber piece.

Yea I know but my pockets aren't that deep, getting ready to retire and am just squeezing in the purchase of a new C7 but accessory money will be tight.

BTW does anyone have the GM CF dash PN?

Thanks

There's a easy fix for that Doc, order the APSIS and sell your stock FAY dash.

thanks, I'm building a spreadsheet with mods I plan on doing to my 201x C7 whenever my dealer gets an allocation.

Interesting GM charges $995 for the FAY option and I found it for $452 on line. That's a lot of labor.

Cheers

When you buy a new Corvette, you're already paying for labor to install the standard dash, or the CF dash. The labor fee should be the same for both dashboards, takes no additional time to install the CF dash.

Forget logic, it's useless in this process. Same logic - or lack thereof - applied when I had to order my C7 without FAY because of constraints but was able to get the OEM c/f dash as a part within a few days. Go figure...

Yup, I figure a couple of hours of my time in the garage and I can save almost $500. Seems fair to me. Same with adding the Z51 sway bars.

My new whip hopefully will come with it! But you will have no problem selling it here! I say stick it in a box and wait for GM to jack up wholesale prices to $700 and then sell it.
