I know the dash piece is covering the airbag, but I wonder if it's possible to make a thin replacement panel out of carbon fiber; the Scion imitation carbon piece looks just as cheap as the silver piece IMO.
You're coming from an AUDI, an upscale luxury brand where material quality matters.
You're expecting the materials of something bordering on cheap econobox to have Audi levels of quality?
