Title: Carbon Fibre Dash
Post by: AtomicRex on March 30, 2007, 07:57:00 AM
Well the new dash has been made....and I have to say I\'m over the moon at what Steve created this time! :god

It hasn\'t been fitted quite yet...but it is a perfect fit, and I think it looks rather nice!

Light too!!  Tried to keep to the original pattern, so a bit better than some of the square type dashes you see for sale!

I\'m going to be chatting with Steve tomorrow about possibly selling these....so any interest PM me!  All sales will go through Gary though!

you really need to get all these CF bits coated mate to bring out the weave. CF is not the same without it.

I just like the cockpit switches...you have to be some sort of secret agent to have that many switches...

Done. I\'ll take one polished to the weave.....:D
 
Only last night I was thinking to myself, "There must be a way to make a mold of the dash...."
 
Does it block off the glove-box though?

You get only what you see...

I only have one pair of racing gloves so dont need a box for them ;)

But could it get polished to the weave look?
(as you can tell.....not too sure how it\'s done)
 
As for a glove box....who needs somthing to fill up with needless cr@p anyway....:D

Looking good Jon

I personally wouldnt laquer/ polish the CF..will only make it glare in the sun.. which no doubt you know is a pain in the arse.

Werent tempted to flock it then?

it does glare i have a carbon panels on mine and the cowling over the gauges reflects against the windscreen in sunlight and can be a pita

it wont glare....the finish is very dull, much less than the chance of a standard dash

Just a thought.. It looks really really sweet. But alot of people on here has been asking about the gauge holders that sits in the center speaker hole.. Why not make three holes in your model, and you would get a one piece thing for three gauges, wich would look MUCH better than anything you would have to add later.

Other than that, just sweeet! :P

I\'m confused?!?!

I don\'t have any gauges on mine.  I\'m sure you can add some though.

I know.. they arnt there as standard.. but alot of people want\'s to add gaugeholders to the dash... And if you made two or three "holes" in the center..
It would look much better than any of the aftermarket holders that screw or snap ontop on the dash...
Ill try to find a picture to show what I mean..
