I believe I read somewhere that the dash pad will have built in nut plates to screw in your OEM metal frame. Best way to do it in my opinion.

My dash is new to the market and I'm working on the website. Our shop address is 544 Cleveland Ave. Albany, CA

Voicing my *serious* interest in a 280Z version as well. I spent days refurbishing mine and it looks ... okay ..., but I'm not sure it's going to last. Would love to buy a new one.

Any word on the material it's made of, thickness, UV resistance, how it looks after a summer in the sun?  Sure looks nice fresh out of the box.

Those are good points.  Don't leave out volatiles, which can dirty up windows pretty quickly.  Hate to be negative but there are many ways to go wrong.  Finding a material to make the shape isn't too hard, finding one that meets the demands of use is more work.

An installed dash after a test run in Las Vegas summer would answer some questions.

Pretty sure that there's a setting in Facebook that opens viewing to the public.  Then we could all see it without logging in .

Lots of questions.  It could be a fiberglass shell sprayed with texture material or it could be a flimsy foam form covered with a hard plastic exterior or it could be constructed just like the original factory item and be wonderful.  The "Summer in the Sun" test will be crucial.  It does look good as pictured and I hope the quality matches.
