Default Carbon fiber trim

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes a carbon fiber replacement for our center console, gage console and the air bag cover? Better yet, how about someone who makes a center console that looks like our factory faux carbon fiber airbag cover and gage trim.[:I]

The GT trim is called "Shadow Dot". I've been looking for a "center console match" for sometime but, to date, have not found any company that makes this. Your best option would be to replace it all with carbon fiber or do what I did, and, flame it...

and/or pin-stripe it. Good luck.

there is a company @ www.ultra-graphics.net that will "carbon fiber" anything you send them. they did the steering column cover and fuel filler door for me. am very pleased with both products. it looks like carbon fiber than the weenie "shadown dot" graphics from the factory. i may take off my dash pieces have have them do the full meal deal. nice people and shipped my order promptly.
good luck,

RapidCraft was the only company that matched the GT's Shadow Dot pattern. They closed up almost a year ago. Their website indicates they are reopening August 1. Before they closed, they had the center console cover you are taking about but only in hand trimmed. They indicated that they were getting a CNC machine for trimming but closed before they got it.

Here's hoping that we will get out Shadow Dot center dash console covers soon. They made a perfect match to the existing Shadow Dot pattern and color.

Auto Dash has carbon fiber look pieces for the center as well as gauge and airbag pieces. I haven't tried them myself, but have been considering them to replace the shadow dot trim looks kinda goofy to me.
