• Mounting standoffs and hardware. 

Note: 

• Fits E36 coupes equipped with passenger side dash airbag.
• Will not fit early, non-airbag coupe or sedans or Ti compact E36 models
• Slight variations in the ABS is normal due to the material and the manufacting process. Some adjustment may be needed.
• Your dash shape will warp and change slightly due to age and exposure. No two dashes are identical.
• Additional support may be needed if you install any components such as switches or gauges.

 You may paint or cover your panels to better match your interior. SEM paint products are recommended.

Slight variances in material and the thermoforming process are possible. We provide a semi-rough cut panel that may require additional trimming and modification to get the fitment and clearance that you desire.

 A UV protective coating, paint, or vinyl wrap should be installed to help reduce reactiveness to UV radiation.

We use ABS Plastics because it is ideal for the thermoforming process, is widely available, easy to modify and customize, and can be worked and painted with standard finishes such as automotive paints and vinyl wraps. Plastics are also less expensive than heavier alternatives, such as fiberglass.ABS Plastic is reactive to UV radiation and temperature. Expansion warping may occur with extended exposure to both direct and indirect sunlight, even in overcast conditions. Please keep in mind that a car’s interior will reach temps much higher than the atmospheric temp in minutes when left in the sun without ventilation. Deformation due to UV or heat exposure will not be considered a manufacturing defect.

Made in the U.S.A.!!!
