Default Is this dashboard new?

I recently bought a matte carbon OEM dashboard from a store that was supposedly new, but this is how it arrived:













It’s almost certainly used, but given the wear and tear, I’m wondering if it’s been repaired or if it’s just supposed to look like this on the back. I’m hoping someone on the forum who’s seen one or installed it in their Corvette can help me out.

Thanks a lot, everyone

The backside will not be finished, I agree with 9sec

Well, thank you so much! I feel much better now. It looked so poorly finished that I thought it had been repaired after a previous break.

Looks good, nice score. Shame the infotainment screen surround will still be black plastic though.

Please post a link for the supplier.
