Fb carbon center console

Does any have the Retro-Spec carbon fiber center console for the S2? I was looking into this part, but not sure how easy it is to cut in the hvac controls stereo din and gauge holes. Any input would be great..

Aeroworks has one for the "FB" but the picture shows the early style dash so I think you'd have to send them an e-mail to see which it really is but I would definately be interested in that as well.

For 70 bucks, I'd be looking for a flat piece of carbon fiber and do all the cutting myself. Carbon fiber can be cut using the same tools as fiberglass, wear a respirator.

I have an 83 dash so it works I was just more concerned about cutting the controls out for it. Have to see if someone can make stickers for the hvac controls and we will be in good shape. And thanks for posting the link I forgot that!!

if you have autocad, create a template for what you want, send a company of your choice your .DXF file and then have it water jetted. The result will be as precise as you could ever want, and the cut quality is excellent. Me and a buddy are doing this for our FB project racer with a piece of carbon from a very famous aircraft... It shall be most righteous. Pics when it is complete.
