Thunderkitten what are you up to now? Do you want to reveneer the dash you have or replace all the panels with carbon? If you go with carbon you will be able to cover additional panels in carbon as well. If you go with carbon Paul @ Myrtle Productions has been doing quite a bit of work for me. The weave they use is very close to what Jaguar used.

Thanks Guys. And thank you JAXKR. Im thinking about doing either a smoked maple or a carbon fiber. I need a wheel to match. How much of a pain is it to put the orig airbag on a new wheel?
