The carbon piece looks like it pairs with the various available fiberglass dashes. Looks like ALOT of work to get to work right with a stock dash/a-pillars.

You can still purchase a new OEM piece, or like mentioned earlier theres tons of diy solutions on this site.

I put a dash cap on mine. Pretty cheap, easy to do, and doesn't look half bad.
