I would say the fiberglass dash is more sturdy if you mount it correctly, because if you have ever taken the stock dash to metal you would find its very flimsy. but i think it was enginered to calaps if some ones head where to come crashing into it... like in a wreck.

Personaly i like the 911 style dash the best, Carbon Joe should be having some made out of carbonfiber, but im not quite clear on when they would be available im guessing sometime in the summer?
Anyways, the kersher one is ment to be covered... leather is mostly prefered. but Carbon Joe's would not be covered compleatly.
you would have to do a little smoothing out to make the Kerscher dash look perfect if you where to have it bare and paint it.

And the Kerscher dash would be over $200 USD for sure, more like 300-350 with shipping.
I had the Kersher dash, this is what Joe is using to mock up his dash from.

When i get the dash back, im doing an install article on the whole dash and aftermarket/ porsche 914 gauges.

If your not in a huge hurry, Joes dash should be well worth the wait, im sure he will have some for sale once he gets back to doing CF work.
