    i have a plastic piece on my dash that i'd like to be real carbon fiber. People in Canada have finally started making carbon hoods for the Swift but they are charging $800 plus S&H. I was just curious what someone would charge to strip my stock hood down to its lightest possible wieght and then wrap it in carbon fiber for support. I added a pic of the dash piece i want replaced.

    I'd appreciate it. I figured the dash piece should be kinda easy to get. I've seen a few cars with carbon fiber inserts. Is there a place i can just order a square piece and i'll cut it to fit? I'd have to find someone to do the hood for me though. Thanks,
