Default Difference between RV6 and RV7 instrument panel?

Im looking for something like Aerosport Products carbon fiber instrument panel that would work on a RV-6 tip-up. I did find a similar product but the gentlemen that was selling them no longer has a source. What are the differences between the -6 and -7 and is it possible to modify the -7 panel for use in a -6 without too much headache?

Thanks,
Craig

Another option if you can't find one or if a -7 panel won't fit: Vinyl wrap. The Carbon-fibre-look vinyl wrap is very nice, my laptop has been wrapped with it since I bought it and it has stood up to some rather hard use and has yet to be scratched. Unless you're looking for the other features carbon offers, like angling some of the instruments towards the pilot, it might be enough?

The pre drilled mounting holes will be different, and likely the notches on the sides will be deeper as the -7 panel sits further forward..
