I have one, they're a good quality/well made product and relatively easy to fit too. They are supplied with a full kitting kit including the duct extensions you need to join to your fresh air vents. The fitting kit uses "clam brackets" that clamp onto the upper and lower dash rails and despite looking like flimsy bits of DIY Mechano, actually work quite well.

My one criticism (apart from them being comparatively expensive), is that unlike dashes from some other suppliers, the custom consoles dash does not angle the speed pod/instrument cluster upwards, so that it can be seen easily by the driver, meaning that you cannot see the top half of the speedo very well from the drivers seat.

Ive got a centre clock dash from them, iv'e had no other issues than these being more expensive than those with the clocks in front of the driver.

That looks great! Can't bring myself to spending the money on a centre clock just yet though :(

Your car looks red in your avatar, we have a red car so bought a black/red combo. As stated above the only issue is the angle of the clocks, although for me, it isn't really a problem.
