Finally putting in my GS order tomorrow. This is the last option I am stuck on!

Anyone have any good pictures of the Carbon Fiber Dash in a 2LT black interior? I have found pictures of it up close but most do not show how it fits into the rest of the interior.

Thanks!

Here is my 3LT Carbon fiber dash with Black interior.

Thank you! Looks nice!

IMHO it needs to be a touch shinier-a little too flat for my tastes

Kind of needs a matching carbon fiber console or else it a job half done to me

I was thinking of buying the aftermarket console that matches it but I'm still not sure. I know the dash install looks like a PITA to install on your own.

I say go for the APSIS USA carbon fiber dash. It looks so much better than GM!

The GM gloss carbon dash is also very nice.

Id go gloss but agree the center console needs it too. I declined the CF since I did flash all over the outside and it would have been an outlier.

What makes the dash install difficult? Thanks.

I like the matte.... gloss is just "too much" shine for me on an interior.

Dash install is very easy!

I don't know if difficult is the right word, but I personally would be extremely nervous ripping the entire interior apart. And here I am building high end PCs once in a while.

With my luck I'd break something and have to have my car towed back to the dealer.

The gloss looks really nice

Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't the dash just a fascia/overlay? A few clips and screws?

I wrote the dash install thread as I swapped it out on my 2014.

While it is a bit time consuming, nothing is hard about it.

The C7 is held together so much better than the C6 ever was. There are so many fasteners that hold everything in, you have nothing to worry about.

I'm actually going to do it again on my 2015.

No, it's a full bolted in piece.

I can tell you that there is 100% no weight difference between the standard dash and the Carbon Fiber one. This is merely an appearance option. That is all.

ummmm.......

Swapped in the OEM CF dash just a couple weeks after I got my C7. Lot's of videos and threads out on the Internet on how to do it. It isn't difficult, but you really need to take your time. Cover all potential scratchable surfaces. End result looks stock, and I saved myself around $500 (after selling the original dash). Besides, it was on constraint when I ordered the car, and I wanted the car more than I wanted the CF dash.
