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.

AtomicRex

When selling maybe....

But I like function over form ;)

mikeyh

Very very nice......your car really is going to be awesome....a pure out and out race car.
Turned into the worst part of my life....my precious fd3 has gone, but never forgotten....roll on a new life!!!!

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?

AtomicRex

You get only what you see...

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

Nuk Su Kow

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?

Gerry M

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
The tartiest rx in scotland

AtomicRex

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

Ricco_04

That looks very good :cool

Never had the dash out (yet :D) how much weight you manage to save you think?

Gord-R

Yours will be laquered/ polished wont they Gerry?
