Also I might be interested in buying some of your parts in anodized black but still in deciding how I will be changing my interior.





Hi Brian, thank you for the kind words. Yes it’s true, I did change from the rennline lower dash piece back to the oem leather one. The rennline one is great and I like slimmer profile it gives the dash, a little more knee room. However when I designed my own dash pieces I had based the measurements off the oem lower pieces. The problem is that for a seamless look I created a bend in my pieces to match the curve at the ends of the oem piece. When the rennline piece arrived I realized they cut the ends flat at 90 degrees. This caused a strange gap and overlap that I didn’t like so I recovered the oem pieces and used them instead.

You can see the tapered down edge in these two pictures. I don’t have a picture that close up of the rennline piece at the moment unfortunately. I still have the rennline piece that I never used if you’d like to buy it for cheaper. However, I don’t recommend you use the rennline piece with the pieces I made unless you don’t mind doing a little trimming. Let me if you’re interested or have any questions!
