Was someone here going to have their complete dashboard made out of C.F.?
I thought it was here that I read someone was going to have their whole dashboard made out of carbon fiber. I believe you said you had to sacrifice your dashboard for a week so the mold could be made.
Could you please give me some information on this if you don't mind. I'd be interested in this as well and maybe we can get a better price on it if more than one person is willing to buy it.
Mark94, I'd like the info too, if/when you get it. I'm a c/f junky, and the more I get, the better my life will be. I got the dash kit, and it looks NICE! But I want more, hehe. Help me if ya can.

It was me that said that I was going to get my dashboard made out of c/f. And I'd have to sacrifice it for at least 2 weeks. The guy is going to charge me between 500-700 bucks to do it. I am trying to get the money to do it now, and I am going to have him make me some door panels and rear panels also, as well as a whole piece to replace the rear speaker tray and run down the back, blocking off the trunk area and over the floorboard(therefore eliminating the rear seats)! I'm not sure how much it is going to cost to make all of the other panels but I am figuring on like $2,000 for all of the pieces.

..count me in too, i customly made a rear speaker panel out of carbon fiber, but i didn't want experiment with my dash board anyways count me in too.

Nice ride, and how much did your CF project cost for the rear panel?
Pre med, huh? good luck. Are you from THE Rockaway that was involved with the Airbus crash?
...well i ordered 2 11 x Sheets of Carbon fiber at $85.00 per sheet, then i removed the rear speaker panel and traced it over the carbon fiber, I used my dremel and shaved it off, made holes for the speakers and trunk lock key...
so it basically cost 170.00 just for the sheets...
I am actually selling the other sheet, b/c that 1 sheet was big enough for everything i wanted to do...
Umm, Yea this is the same Rockaway involved in the plance crash i live on 113st the plane fell on 129st... put it to you this way my house shoook....
tell me about it....i have to write my biochemistry final in about 9 hours. pre-med sucks big time.....
but about the dash, would it be a full replacement molded in?? seems like a lot of work but it would surely set you apart from everyone else. i think the cf door inserts are a great idea....i would jump on that in a second
So the carbon fiber replacemant you made just sits on top of the original rear shelf? I thought you molded a whole new rear piece. Either way, pretty slick.
I remember reading an old artivle in Grassroots Mtorsports where they made a CF dash from scratch, using the original to make a plug. I'll look for it tommorrow.
Stay in school guys. It will definitely pay off. My gils is premed and she is hurting right now.
