Title: Mazdaspeed carbon fibre dash!
Post by: S3TH on January 06, 2008, 06:54:54 PM
How much are these things worth and where can you get \'em?

Are original mazdaspeed panels real carbon fibre or carbon fibre "effect"?

How much would you pay for one made professionally using the "effect", can\'t tell the difference myself!!

:Hammer

Thanks!

when you see rel carbon next to effect the difference is very clear. i believe the mazda speed stuff is effect only. i personally wouldn`t pay for effect stuff on my car

mazdaspeed is carbon effect and i blve not avail anymore
real carbon is very hard to mould around the shape imo i prefer the carbon effect

I have seen both real carbon dash and the mazdaspeed ones and again I prefer the mazdaspeed one. looks so much nicer and cleaner. as rx7veilside said real carbon around the dash is hard to do and looks poor. well the one i see was very poor indeed

Email sent! thanks chappys, I didn\'t realise the orig mazdaspeed ones were cf effect... but after you mention it certainly would be difficult to wrap/mould real cf around those contours!...

Yeah I noticed that on ebay, then jit made me see the light and i realised i could have late spec dash panels for half that and look 10x neater!
Title: Mazdaspeed carbon fibre dash!
Post by: karl_tate on January 08, 2008, 06:31:27 PM
ive tried my self to cover the panel in the carbon effect and its really really really hard to get it perfect.
 
where do you find these late spec panels?? what is the main difference??

Why not buy ours...it is fully Carbon Fibre and not stick on.  Fits like a glove, and you are buying British!

Will get Sam to stick some photos up, as Im in NZ at the moment.

Sounds good, is your site still under construction? You\'ve got a lot of gauge-related stuff :Hammer

Pics would be awesome, and price would be even better!

The mazda speed ones look quite smart i think but as said it is just effect.

I don’t think this is really what you guys are after as you are posting about the plastic panels, but saying that it is a nice alternative.

  The pics i have aren’t great, but i will put them up.  Can get better ones tomorrow.  As Jon said price is £600 (less with members discount).

  It is 100% carbon.
 
  It really is Joke ably light in weight.  anyone that Picks it up really does LOL :rollin.

  As you can see it keeps to a standard FD dash shape, so looks very simular from out side.
  (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd158/AtomicRex/DSC00228.jpg)
 
  and finally one in the car.  (Jon was trying to explain to us what would happen if we didnt wear a seat belt while going round the ring :D )

Ahh, John meant the actual dash and not the inserts.  Nice but not what I think we were after!
