I have removed my dash face steel pieces and intended to install some carbon fiber "decal" sheets to cover them. The decals look quite unacceptble, so they sit in my garage til I find a new method...I have seen real carbon fiber kits for dash face (and console) on 9XX.com, but a bit pricey for this do-it-yourselfer. Anybody have ideas for materials which were inexpensive and worked well for a custom install of dash face covers? I don't want to install the original materials (basketweave vinyl), and was looking for a custom, more modern look. Any ideas are welcome!
Thanks! please email at aliasemail@optonline.net -914hog |

914hog...I was running the idea through my head about a month ago also. I would have to go with the DIY meathod and not use the 9xx kit. If you buy/cut it yourself you can typically get 2-3 times the material and do other bits if you want. I think for most cases a saw-type x-acto would work nicely. Good luck. There is a thread on soundsystems where Stitch has a carbon dashpanel, you can PM him and find out what he did.
