I made a whole new dash panel from plexiglass, wrapped with carbon fiber vinyl.

Panels can be made from plexiglass, Lexan, aluminum sheet using simple hand tools (or lay-up of fiberglass cloth/resin if you're ambitious). They can then be painted, hydrodipped, vinyl wrapped, etc.

This was 3m 1080 air-release vinyl, and on flat panels, was very easy to work with. On compound curves, you need to take your time, use a heat gun and work slowly.
