WTB: Carbon Fiber Dash Trim

Hey Everyone,

I am looking into switching my piano black Dash trim into the Carbon Fiber.
However I see some of the prices range from $500-600. Anyone know of any Dealers that deal with this stuff at a cheaper price point? Or anyone have them for sale or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

I spent about 1.5 years looking for the JCW CF left and right dash pieces here on the marketplace, on eBay and at various dealers.

I finally won an eBay auction in June of last year for the set. I think I paid about $300 or so for them. The price of these things from the dealer is such BS. $600. that is just crazy.

This is a very good price if you do not want to wait for a bargain:

Hey Porthos,

I just looked at the site and it shows only the RHD version. :S
Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for the website though!

That is the funny thing about eBay, you never know. I do not know where the guy got those dash pieces from but I got a great price and he shipped them promptly. I wrote to him a few weeks after I received them and asked if he had "access" to more JCW parts. He never replied.

eBay is where it's at for JCW CF. I almost won a JCW spoiler for about $200 last week (retail for almost 700). I just forgot to watch it towards the end. Some one beat me by about 10 bucks.
