Making new dash trims

Hi guys

Soon i'm going to be doing some research on how much it will cost to make the dash trim for the Vortex. If I can get it remade, how many people would interested in buying one and how much they are willing to spend so I can work out if its worth going down this track?

Thanks Gannon

I called my local Subaru Dealer and managed to get 2 new ones (last ones as well) and should be picking them up later today. I'm thinking of keeping the other as a spare and using it as a template as I know you can get gasket paper just in-case I need to use it :)
