This is a pretty well thought out piece. It's got all the instruments you'd need. 2 auxiliary ports for 12 volt power.
This piece will fit better than any plastic piece on the market.
Personally I think it looks better than a Covan dash.

Laser scan? That sounds cool. I thought it looked like NX. I work for Siemens & have used NX/Unigraphics since V9, back in 1992.

It definately looks a thousand times better than a Covan. Covan dashes are extremely overpriced. I used to have one. While it is an ok piece, I was highly disappointed that is was just a thin piece of vacuum formed ABS plastic for the price.

Thanks Guys. Bob and Matt should get most of the credit and of course the customer for paying the bill.

I remember seeing something that Bentley uses 1 piece dashes like this to control the amount of in-car noise. I can't help but think this would help as well, real nice work guys.

I have about one week left on this deal. We may never have a group together to do another one at a later date. This is a cheap deal for this kind of work.

Final days, Black Friday Sale. How ever you want to say it.

I have sold 7 of these deals. After this they will be much more expensive.

We have an AC version, and a NON AC version.
