Default Any new aftermarket dash pads?

I'm wondering if any companies are making stronger, better dash pads? Mine is on it's way out and I would really love a different one, maybe wrapped in suede or leather with some nice stitching. Possibly 6LE could take the lead on this one, he's done a great job on other replacement parts.

We've used a few of their pickup ones and other cars and they're two to three times thicker than the original pads but are still flexible. The texture isn't always the same but the color is usually very close if not spot on

We looked into carbon fiber but the glare makes it so you can't see out the window...
