Is Carbon Joe turning out dash covers for a standard Beetle yet? I've seen alot of talk on the forum over the last few months, but no pix.

contact him....he might be busy right now?! :rolleyes:

I sent him an email. No response yet. I'm just trying another angle to fill my CF itch... ;)

I too would like a carbon fiber dash cover. I've been checking the site but there hasn't been any updates or pictures.

I've been super busy and also dealing with a few family health issues but I did manage to get a few thing done. First being the dash

I'm still working on the 911 dash that hope to have it done soon.

Hey, Carbon Joe does this mean you are taking orders again (I emailed you e few times)? Hope the health issues weren't to serious.

Lookin good Joe! It's nice to see that some new products being made in the states.

I cant wait for you to get that 911 style dash done... Im sure it will be worth the long wait though.

looks great joe! love the spoiler. makes me wish i had a bumper...nah. :D

hope all is OK with the family. give me a call sometime soon (and i will do the same). i am going to play around with the spare c/f in making a splitter and want to share some thoughts.

I received my CF dash cover a few weeks ago and the fit and finish is perfect. My only problem with it is I'm afraid to cut it to fit my gauges... :(

Thanks guys, dad was in the hospaitl for ten days and then two weeks later mom went in for a few days but everyone's doing better.

Tom, try sending me another email or you can PM me from here.

Zen, the splitter sounds cool, yes we need to talk. I would like to do some updating on the site, I'll give you a call.

Mike, the safest thing to do is cover the entire dash with blue panters tape and draw your outlines and see how it looks, if you need to you and make your changes then. To cut the holes use a piloted fine tooth hole saw and just go slow.

My apologies if this is daft of me, but does the c/f dash replace the padding part, or is there more to it than that?

I'm also curious as to how difficult it is to bore the holes for gauges, knobs and vents.

Oh, and radio. If one were to stick a modern radio in the dash, does one have to do some cutting behind the c/f part? In fact for the sake of interest, is there any cutting behind the c/f part necessary for any modification (say, a 914 set-up)?

Absolutely gorgeous work!
 

Fantastico senor!

I hope everything is ok w/ your family now..=)
I'm also glad to see your handy work once again and as always I am in awe.
I'll be sending you an order for some parts very soon...especially for that 911 dash...it's been like some kinda Golden Ticket for the Wonka factory to me since it was first mentioned....mmmmm...candy.....

Again, I'm glad to hear your family's ok now.

Thanks,

I'll try it, but my hands will be shaking. :D What about the larger speedo hole? I was planning to cut it a little undersize using a sabre saw with an extra fine metal blade and finish it with the Dremel and a sanding drum.
