C7 Carbon Fiber Dash
Has anyone swapped the stock dash for the carbon fiber one? Does the carbon fiber look that much better?
Parts taxi has it for sale for $491 http://www.partstaxi.com/products.php?partID=2590 How much work am I looking at to make this swap? Has anyone had the dash bezel off yet? |

Check with Stingray, he had his done after delivery. It looks much better than plastic.

Yes, and what a big aesthetic difference and upgrade. I had mine courtesy installed at a local dealership. IMO well worth the $491 price for the same CF dash that was a $995 RPO option. Btw, on a 1LT it'll be unique and not often seen since RPO "FAY" is presently available on 2LT and 3LT models only. Build one at the Chevy website and you'll see what I mean.
There's a DIY thread on another C7 forum if you plan to tackle it yourself. Not overly difficult, just time consuming and you'll need the proper tools to do it right. |

I was wondering how long it would take them to come out with an aftermarket carbon fiber dash.
Do you happen to have any pics of it installed? Just curious what it looks like.

That's really cool, I didn't realize that it was the same OEM dash.

Great product and video. The carbon fiber looks much better than the plastic.
