The dashes from Prestige truly are a work of art. The fit and finish is
flawless and the choice of woods range from "original Triumph" to exotic
.... or is it erotic highly grained woods?? I actually scanned their
brochure (with pictures and prices) and have it posted on my web site. The
prices are probably 2 years old now and I have NFI, other then they got my
$$$$ :-)

I had the same experience as Tom and can verify the Prestige premium high
gloss board is beautiful, if a bit expensive. I had to send Prestige a set
of glove box door hinges from TRF for them to hang the door as original, but
I prefer the black countersunk hinges to the brass that they supplied when I
ordered my board.
