You could try a dash trim kit, though I've never been a big fan of them. If you get a high quality kit, you should be fine.

I'm not sure if anyone makes a fully molded piece. You could probably cover the current piece with a layer of carbon fiber.

Try the Fabrication forum. There are more people in there that would be able to help you on a subject like this.

The Ebay dash kits as you put them are stick on, what i am looking for is a fully molded piece to replace the stock one, there is a guy in the fab forum that has a shop that makes stuff i think i will go there and ask.
