I'm guessing you mean carbon fiber wrapped?? I don't quite understand the reasoning for fiberglassed... And removing the dash and part is pretty much VERY simple. I suppose it depends on if you have an automatic or manual, mines manual I could have the entire dash dismantalled in 10 minutes tops. Depending on how deep you are planning on going if you intend to take the entire center console out such as arm rest area and what not, the only pita part is the climate control

If you plan on taking the whole dash out, the chassis wiring harness runs through the back of it. I'm doing this to my alltrac to swap the chassis harness and dash for a better condition one. Very time consuming. Just take your time and the bolts and screws will be obvious. Just take it slow.

question for you: do you plan on daily driving the car? with a fiberglass dash, a car accident becomes so much more dangerous from what i remember. this is due to how it breaks into small pieces. also if you plan on painting it with a gloss type paint you have to worry about sun reflection. something to think about.
