If the quality and fitment is anything like the hood I got from them I would say you should try a different vendor.

I will say that in my experience w/ them the product I purchased was WAY better than the customer service I received.

Joe does make a dash, I have seen a couple of the VFN ones, and believe me you'd be WAY better off leaving the stock one in the car then going with that thing, it looks like it belongs in a kids toy, very fake looking, and it fit like ****.

Just FYI my gutted stock dash I just weighed at 11lbs. That doesn't include the gauges, radio, or glovebox/panels underneath.

True and I believe you have to fab up brackest to fit the fiberglass ones anyway and that will add some weight to it as well.
