carbon fiber dash

does anyone know if the CF dash is on constraint or not?

Hard to know for sure week to week - About three weeks ago my dealer said it could fill my order if I was willing to drop FAY - Nothing has changed since then - Dealers like Kerbeck are listing some with FAY in their inventory, but only a few - So, no one can tell you for sure except the dealers as to their experience, but it appears FAY continues to be a problem or my dealer would advise me otherwise - I am #1 on his order sheet for a Z51 Vert 3LT with FAY, but likely shall be passed over for orders it can fill without constraints - I expect FAY continues to be a constraint problem

Thanks a lot for the info... I am on the fence with this... I am hoping for a 2/22 museum delivery and hate that this could screw it up..

I'm having a tough time finding them available as a parts purchase as well. Seems this may be hard to come by for some time.

Ordered mine Aug 8 and went to 2000 Nov8, 3000 Nov 11, 3400 Dec 6 and 3800 (built ) Dec 13. Some CF dashes are getting thru. It is supposed to be delivered to dealer Dec 30. Now that makes for a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I ordered mine 10-11-13 and my dealer called a few weeks back saying they could not get the carbon dash and they needed to know if I wanted to cancel my Z51 order, I said NO, I will take it without. My Z51 is suppose to arrive any day without the carbon fiber dash.

I had to do the same to get my car built on Dec 16th but still not shipped.

Eodgunny · 12-29-2013, 09:02 AM

I stopped in at a local dealer who had both options available to view and compare... I'm waiting for the CF dash....

I ordered a Carbon Fiber dash separately and had it installed at the dealership....so they're out there.

Have you considered carbon fiber hydro dipping the regular dash?
I'm sure it would be a lot less than the near $1000 option. With a clear coat on it, it may look as good as if not better.

Glen e · 12-31-2013, 05:15 PM

Yup, that'd be cool for 500......

jefftriman · 12-31-2013, 10:20 PM

Never heard of it, can you please provide some information?
Thanks

Who did you order it from?

binko · 01-01-2014, 08:09 AM

There are a bunch of companies out there.
If you type hydro dipping into Google, they are listed.
One is Water Magic Imaging but there are many to chose from.
You send them the part, they do it then return it to you.
