Would you pay $120 for real carbon fiber dash?

Hi,
I will be selling carbon fiber dashes soon on a new site for maxima and nisssan owners (cant say the name yet but you will know of it soon) site. Before I get it there I would like to do a group deal here for about $120 if 15+ people buy. Shipping would propably be around 5-10 dollars. I just need to know how many of you would pay so I could get an idea of how much material to get and estimate the time I will need.
Thanks,
Paul

having a real CF dash is cool and all, but it really doesn't add that much performance. I personally wouldn't buy it.

Isn't carbon fiber for weight reduction?

Not only, it also looks great on your dash. Other places like http://wooddash.com sell this for $240. I hope NYCE Maxima doesn't mind me posting this:

Look at the part where it says levoc, that's carbon fiber. It also looks much nicer in real life. The new Porche (I think it's the GT2) is worth 140K and has this as their dash.
Thanks,
Paul

Here is a better shot, however, it's on an old car so the dash is kind of crappy:

This looks much better on a maxima and I will post the pics as soon as I get some made.
Thanks,
Paul

I would only buy something in CF for weight reduction, that's what it's primarily used for. Hey, if you can get 50 people to buy it, go for it. Unfortuantely, I won't be one of them.

Just wanted to post that so people could get an idea. The one shown above is fake carbon fiber and much lower quality then what we will be selling.
Thanks,

Yes that will be possible once I have everything set. If you want to speed things up ask wood dash for a sample, mine will be similar and then I could send you one once I have everything ready. Also we might not have a 5th gen for a little while, I will have to start of with a 4th gen and see how that goes. Then I will have to get a donor 5th gen to put this on so I wont be able to get those done for another month or so after I posted the 4th gen.
Thanks,
Paul

That is correct. We cannot give the molded peices as that would cost way too much and there just wouldn't be enough interested buyers.
Thanks,
Paul
