No joke. Wouldn't fiberglass be more prone to breaking/cracking than the stock dash?

That's pretty cool looking, but I don't know if I'd use it for my car. I've seen tweed interior before and that looked really cool.

If I were going to do all that work, I would not leave the dash stock looking. I would probably add a HUD, get rid of the airbag hole (my airbags are dead anyways), and maybe do some other modifications.

Then rather than paint it, the last layer would be carbon fiber. I figure about $100 - $150 worth of carbon fiber would cover a whole dash. Would look real nice too!

Had to bookmark that guys site, that is some great stuff!
