Carbon Fiber Dash Kit

I was thinking of getting one of the C-F dash kits from YearOne for my '91 RS but at $350 I was wondering if anyone else has used or seen this kit in person. It has 10 pieces, just what are those pieces?

You need to ask them for a shadow sheet (as I recall that was the term) showing what pieces are included with the kit. I bought a kit from another company in '97 for $282. Lon

Mine was for a 90. I got it from Flying Wing, but they no longer sell dash kits. Contact Joshua at Versa-Trim (626)961-1841. He used to work at F.W. and knows the company that mfg's it. The manufacturer was in FL, but I don't know their name.

www.exoticwooddash.com has them, for the newer cars too.

The shop I work at does wood dashes......... when I go to work Monday, I'll find out if they can do mail order (they do have a credit card machine), and what the price range might be.

racereno,

Sorry for getting your hopes up, man. I had never looked up a Camaro, since I own a Firebird.... here's the Firebird one, which is supposed to go right up to 1992:

http://www.exoticwooddash.com/wd154.htm

That Camaro kit looks nice, and has a lot of pieces. Even though you'd be wasting some of your money...you could probably just buy the 82-89 kit and use as many pieces of it as you can.

I'm pretty sure the stuff we get at my work is from a company called B&I or something like that.... I'll try to find out their website, or see if we have a catalog, and I'll get back to you soon.

91 is right, http://www.autodash.com/ has the 90-92 Camaro kits and the layouts (for less than YearOne). Chris, although the door panels and console pieces would fit, the instrument cluster area is so different for these years that you have to get the newer kit. I ordered the carbon fiber version of the kit this morning. I'll keep you posted.

Sorry 91, the link you were talking about is http://www.dashkit.com/ who also have the correct kits/layouts. I guess I had Autodash on my mind because you have to call dashkit for pricing and since it's Sunday I just went ahead and ordered from Autodash.
