Default OEM carbon fiber dash? Glossy option?

Did GM ever come out with the glossy carbon dash? I remember it going around months ago but haven't heard anything since. Part number? Going to add it to my xmas list and not sure if i want the original, or if theres a newer one, that one

No they didn't. But you can get one from one of the CorvetteForum Vendors!

It's in the black suede (or whatever it's called) package. Of course we all know that has zero meaning as to whether they have it or not. I can't find a GM p/n for it. You'd have to contact one of the OEM parts guys or go aftermarket.

If you cant find one in in gloss, buy the matte one and take it to a body shop, they should be able to clear it for $100 or so, probably a better job too......

The one thing I do not get is why GM made the competition seats with a gloss CF finish and the dash matte. It definitely looks mismatched. Both should have the same finish.

You painted your car yellow?

You must have, due to the fact that you posted and added a picture (only one), therefore you painted your car yellow.

I like the glossy much more than matte. Glossy CF dash, steering wheel and console by Caravaggio.
