I don’t normally do interior upgrades, but the hard plastic cover on the dashboard is terrible in the new Z. I found this and it looks really good, and I have the red interior accents. Very tempted!!

I have a carbon fiber cover. Looks amazing with the kit but it introduced some squeaks and tweaks that were not there before. Might be from when the cover gets hot and the 3M tape is a bit more pliable or I just out the damn thing on incorrectly ?.

I have these axis components for the arm rest and knee pads…amazing quality. Was thinking about swapping to this so if you pull the trigger let us know how it goes.

it’s funny you mention the creeks and squeaks, my existing dash cover makes noise, since it’s such a cheap piece of plastic. If I buy the cover I would probably line the inside with some thin felt so that it’s not plastic on plastic.

$436 for that seems excessive!
Very excessive, hoping something like this is available cheaper, tons of carbon fiber, but nothing in alcantara with the matching stitching to fit the ref interior scheme.

I may disagree, the Toray brand is extremely respected in the fiber manufacturing world and if it's really made to that standard as they say, it should be worth it as a luxury type upgrade.

I am very close to pulling the trigger and will post up if I do with a full review.

Thanks for the info, let me know if you pull the trigger, if it’s up to the standard, I’ll pick one up.
