Hi,
well covanthunderroad says their dash is thicker than what you used to get, but still ABS plastic.
at least communication is A+, dash is shipped as promised around June 4th. tracking number provided. they even backed up from their original idea to use UPS ($ 310) and used USPS although there is some more hassle with the paperwork and no pick-up ($130).
that is great for more me, i saved 180 bucks 

 and i do appreciate they were flexible.
i guess it will be at german customs in 2 or 3 days and then add maybe 3 or 4 days for german authorities to write me a letter "please pick up your box blabla customs bla bla bring money bla bla" 
 
 
keep you informed.
