Do we have a price for getting the dash, center consol, and door armrests together?

I'm interested, but need a price for the whole package before committing. This stuff isn't cheap.

Weight savings is about $100 per pound ............. If stop eating I could save about $10,000 worth of weight based on that .............

We do a hand lay up on all our product that there may be a slight difference(not anymore than .5lb) in weight. The peice that we are making for Lou now is only 3.5lb. compare to 20-something lb. you can't beat that.

Well, it might not be about weight for you... But for me, if I'm going to consider replacing anything in my car, I'd like it to be with something lighter than the original. No, I don't care about racing the car, but I would appreciate it being a little zippier at a stop light and even saving a few bucks here and there on gas.

Blue if you are wanting to drop 15 lbs never fill the gas tank , if you average three gallons less fuel it saves over 15 lbs for free ........ There are much more efficient smaller batteries which weigh much less BUT you do not SEE the battery . I put manual seats in my old very brown 1980 which saves a bunch of weight . Weight is the enemy when it comes to performance which is one reason why I "race" on 225x50x15 tires on 7x15 rims . The big rims and tires often are very heavy . If you want a carbon dash buy one , it is your car . Just recognize that the weight advantage is not very significant compare with other things you could be doing . I have a carbon fiber hood on the wide body race car project but the outer skin is not clear , you only see carbon on the underside of the hood . Since I "had" to widen the hood by 4 inches I used glass rather than aluminum .

since alot of people asked about the dash in a earlier thread and wanted to know about a group buy. This thread offered one so how many people are ordering a dash or gave it serious thought?
