Here is a photo of a CF 914 dash. It is not an overlay. It is not just a dash face. This dash has many studs that have to be properly located, just like the OEM dash. If you look up the price of a CF dash face, maybe you can interpolate a price for this dash.
I made it for the Ruby 914 long before I started the WRX dash. It's wet lay-up, no vacuum bagging.
I made a mold intending to reproduce them but with all the other projects, WRX project, new house...
Basically, with my real job, I found a CF dash was cost prohibitive to produce.
FG was not much better.

Over the Christmas holidays I got a little note taped to my front door.
It was from a kid in the hood. He was looking for work, on his time off from school, to save for a car.

I called him and told him I had some car parts that he may be interested in making.
I may get with him this weekend and show him how to make the "A" pillars with the satellite tweeter boss.
If this works out, I will give him the molds to take home and hope he does not stick a part to the mold.

I have also considered giving the molds to my friend that owns a surf shop . He may be interested in making parts on the side.

Mike

Way to go Mike.

That's the one that's similar to the 911 gauge setup, correct?

Will you sell it to me now:-)

Soooo.... Are you considering making them again? Or are you just teasing us with a picture of a very cool dash?

How much to have you make one? Or 2?

Will you sell it to me now:-) The car comes with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

A little of both.
I kept this secret when I did it, thinking I would loose my job and would fall back on making 914 parts. Years later, I still don't know about my job but would like to make it happen. The CF parts are very labor intensive. There is a question of best finish for the FG parts, recover with vinyl add $450 or so, Paint?
I will make some calls and see if I can get a limited production started.
It will be great if this kid down the street works out.

I knew a guy that told me he had a RTM or VARTM dash mold for a 911. I will have to Google for the product and look him up.
