I forgot to reply to this thread :P
The dash surrounds have been in for a while but since it is being sold as a kit with screws, they were waiting for one particular short screw that goes in the bottom of the dash surround. It had to come from the USA. Seems amazing that it was not available in Australia.

Sound like a joke to me im sure they didnt look very hard.

G'day all, I have just returned from picking up the new dash facia from Rares Prospect. I've done a test fit on dash panel and it fits really well. The only thing I had to do was ream out the screw holes a little to get the screws started, then fitted it up.





Hopr this will soothe some of your nerves.

"BT" means that the screw has a cut out in the start of the thread specifically for screwing it into plastic where a normal screw would split the plastic - this is why the screws could not be sourced here - they are a special plastic screw

Theres some handy screw info..

Club price was $70 they have two different size screws, three for the top & sides and a longer one for the bottom. As I said yesterday I found the part fitted fine, it looks great and was worth the wait. Now it will have to wait for the rest of the car so I can see how good it all looks.
