I unfortunately wasn't able to get around to it - it's too dark in my garage and it rained all weekend. The weather should be better this weekend, I promise I'll get a photo snapped soon.

Your idea sounds like an attractive way to go!

Here's what I had JPM use as inspiration:

Holy hell. I need to win the lottery now. You're going to turn this into a Ferrari interior.

@KlafKoon It is an available custom option. We are exploring what it may cost to build the double din spacers into the piece. My best estimate at the moment is that if you were to select the Bonded/One Piece Dash Panels, there would be no additional charge to bond and wrap the spacers. If you wanted the Non-Bonded/Two-Piece Dash Panels, there would be an additional charge to bond the double din spacers to the piece. What that charge may be, I do not yet know.

Cheers

Mine came in today.










This is the production version bonded panel.

For those of you complaining about the logo, deleting the logo makes it a custom piece hence the higher price. More than fair considering the amount of work Alex, Andrew, and the rest of the staff at JPM put into their products. They deserve that recognition, and if you don't want to give it to them, then pay more and commission a custom piece.

Whatever you decide to do, stop complaining about it, we're tired of it.

In any case, they can do what they like because it is their product to sell. I just wanted clarification from them to justify paying for someone else's embroidering.
@JPM Coachworks
looks like you have read the exchanges, care to clarify why this is the case?

People are still questioning this? Because it's THEIR product and THEIR logo they can choose to put whatever they want. It wasn't just based on peoples request. Honestly, this is like asking if you guys can have your FR-S without the Scion logo. Guess what. If you don't want it, and want Toyota instead, you pay! No one questions that.

I just wanted to know why you cant make both the same? that way the logo guys get a good deal and the non logo dont get screwed for less work done and end up paying for gens or wolfsongxs logo?

why are you ignoring to clarify this? I am not trying to be a prick here, honestly just wanting to know why from the horse's mouth.

Hey Andrew!!!
I just wanted to say that opening the box from JPM today was one of the highlights. To put the panel back into the car was just spectacular, especially after looking at the hole behind it for so long. It was so worth the wait and it exceeded my expectations. The bonded panel is the way to go, and looks so much better than the separated panels with the seam, which wrapping would only just accentuate. The panel just ties everything together so well and the fact that it's a signature piece draws attention to the other Alcantara pieces in the car. I know we discussed some of the options like a brand or a metal plate but I think that the embroidery has a "pop" to it and draws the eye without being a distraction.

I'm glad that you offer us the same top notch quality and work whether it's a custom piece or a production part. I can't afford to have a full custom interior done, but I'm glad you give me a chance to save up and buy it a piece at a time. Each piece I add makes the interior a more luxurious and enjoyable place to be. The hardest part now will be figuring what to get next... but that's a problem I don't mind having.

Looking forward to doing the next piece now... until then, you can always consider me another happy customer who appreciates the art in what you do.

You aren't paying for my logo. I too received a discount on the piece for having the logo. Look at any part in the aftermarket industry; my FBM kit had "Full Blown" labeled on every coupler. Look at the Vortech intercooler--big white VORTECH letters across a black intercooler. They're simply signing their work, and having other people see and recognize their artistry brings attention to them. It's the same reason every car comes with the manufacturer's badge. If you'd rather not partake, you don't receive the discounted rate, that's all. Nothing else they produce for the FR-S/BRZ is signed.

There's always Redline if anyone wants enormous, crooked "BRZ" lettering across the piece.



edit: For the record, I paid the identical price everyone else did on every piece I've ordered--no 'guinea pig' discount. For as long as JPM has been doing this, they can eyeball just about any piece and determine if it's possible and how much labor it will be.

@s2d4 I feel that a lot of people have said almost everything we would have. Thank you to everyone for the support. Thank you as well for your curiosity and for asking. We appreciate all inquiries and attempts to better understand and explain our products
First and foremost, I apologize because I believe the confusion is my fault for not explaining the pricing and product configuration correctly from the get go. This product in particular has very much been a work in progress as we have gone through the process of development, production and pricing.
It is not that the product without the logo would be more expensive because it does not have our branding. It is that the product with the logo has the discount built in and the overall product was priced with that branding in mind. The previous iterations do not include any branding because they were prototypes to ensure that we could develop the product to the highest possible standard before it was available as a catalog item. We understand that some people, yourself included, may not want a logo on this or any part, and we are seriously examining if we will release that as an option. Until we come to a decision, it will not be available in that configuration. We greatly appreciate your patience in the interim!
Finally, we can never say it enough but thank you to everyone who has been instrumental in helping us come up with these products in the first place. For fear of forgetting someone, I will not mention any of you specifically until I have a complete list. Maybe I can just mention the entire forum membership to ensure I do not leave anyone out. We are truly grateful for all of your thoughts, help, feedback, and suggestions; we are equally grateful for the new friends we have made here! Without all of you, so many of these products would not be possible!

@gusbarragan I apologize; I never really thought to take a picture I will make sure to take a picture of the back on the next one we produce. In the meantime, perhaps @DSOmegaX can snap a photo for you once his arrives this coming week. For the most part, the rear of those panels looks the same (plastic and clips to hold it into the dash), however upon being wrapped you will see the edges of the material where it is wrapped over and glued down and you will also see the bonding agent that holds the pieces together. We do our best to keep the backside of the pieces as clean as possible.
