I could get a friend who owns a company that makes interior bits with real carbon fibre. Would anyone be interested in have like a group buy or individual buys on such an item as this...

I am going to get him to mock it up using my car. His work is excellent.
Would be good for guys with cracked dashs. Something different.

Cheers

That would be terrible in sunlight, it would relflect the light off it, matt black dash is still the best way to go..

Automatic is from the american rubbish.

Sits on the original dash so its adding weight lol.
It is too hard to make a full replacement dash.

exactly to me thats just some rice waste of money, the 2nd pic looks ok because thats an actual carben fiber race type dash not a carbon slip on piece. but hey whatever floats your boat

What do you mean.
It will sit comfortable on top of original.
I had a big chat with the guy today and he said he can definatly make it better than the one pictured from Modified inc.
It is just an example.
I am getting other interior bits made so i'll keep you posted.

Yeh he is doing that for me
I haven't found dials yet so i haven't been able to get it done.
I need (want) DEFI speedo and tacho. They have to be under 100mm in diamter

why cannot he just make an actual dash of carben fiber and forget the cover? makes more sense to me

Well he could but the labour cost in that would be huge.

15th April 2005, 11:40 PM
well its basically the exact thing as the cover just with some tab bits for the bolts and stuff for the dash

Well i'll see if he can do the whole dash as a replacement instead of a skin. Then it would have a real "purpose"

yeah im not trying to be an arse about it, just a carben dash would be heaps better than a slip on cover. save a bit of weight i dunno but whatever really
