haha, wow, thanks guys for all the responses!!!!

We have put a TON OF WORK, especially Frank, the mastermind behind composites.

Hundreds of hours!

If you guys could PM me your address I can calculate shipping. I haven't weighed the dash but i can assure you it is VERY light...i would say the box would weigh more than that lol.

I'll take a pic and post it when i get back from SEMA.

The inside is very clean, the entire part is thin the entire way. This is not a big thick bulky dash...this is a very clean lightweight thin race part.

Even in fiberglass it will be thin and lightweight.

They are ready for sell at any time (as far as I know).

Ryan, you know that **** wasn't Chris posting, he couldn't form a proper sentence in the English language if his life depended on it. Yeah, Tex and I are heading out to SEMA for the week, I'm certain he'll post up more info when we get back, if not, PM me and I'll see what we can do.

This is Morgan, by the way.

We are currently building Morgan an FC with the 20B 42R turbo AEM drift car.

Some of the other things are using as well is a Jerico 4 speed transmission, with an aftermarket bell housing!

This is the dash that was made to fit Morgans FC 3 rotor turbo drift car.

It is made in house by Franks Custom Fiberglass here in Concord, NC!

The carbon fiber version is in the $699

The fiberglass version is $299

We will be mounting it by using quick release fasteners

Thanks for the interest guys! Anything can be made, just let us know!

We are literally two turns off of Concord Mills Blvd.

Coming from Concord Mills, take a left on to Weddington, then follow Weddington until you see Pitts School Rd. Make a left on Pitts School Rd. and it's the first shop on the right after the plaza thingermajig.

Would also like to add, we do specialize on Honda stuff too. Just throwing that out there!

Let's see some pics of this mounted. Also, would it be possible to make provisions for the factory cluster?

I'm sure you could modify it to accept the factory cluster if you wanted.

The dashes are available now in carbon or glass. just let us know!

Although I find this piece interesting and beautiful (in the way that all carbon fiber is beautiful), I'm totally confused about it's utility.

It would be absolutely useless on anything but a full-on race car but why would a race car even pretend to have a full dash in it?

...seems disingenuous to me.
Getting a stock cluster to fit that configuration- and not look like complete ***- would require more than a bit of modification.
In fact, someone capable of doing it well wouldn't even need to start with your piece, it'd be simpler to start from scratch.
If it's a race car, why would the stock cluster even be considered?

I guess I just don't see the point.

******* amazing. I would definitely pay $300 for a FG one. It would be easier to flat black it to eliminate the glare. Shipping would be a ***** though.

Thank you for your compliments!

You are correct...It is a race car, and we aren't using a factory cluster lol.

I have been quoting shipping costs and it seems like its only about $100 to ship...not too bad, insured too!

LOL, indeed.

What kind of race car is it and do the rules require the semblance of a stock dash?
