Carbon fiber 911 style dash for standard.

[boygenius]

What do you guys think of this for a dash concept. I am now planning on using a piece of carbon fiber and trimming it into the general shape of the 911 dash. I would then trace out the pattern on my metal dash and remove the metal from the inside area. I would leave just enough metal to create tabs to hold the CF panel in place. Basicly the CF panel would be mounted flush with the painted metal dash without a dsah cover. I will install some 914 gauges and maybe a few autometer gauges to cover all my gauge needs. What do you guys think?? opinions???

That sounds cool.

This company is selling fibre glass dashes pretty cheap.
He says he's going to have a 911 dash next month.

check out the stuff he has now...not too shabby.

He said he can do a group order w/ a lower price too.

I'll wait and see what his dash looks like but I don't think I will like it. I'm not a real big fan of the bulky fiber glass dash.

I think it will look terrible, horrible & nasty .....................What do you mean jealous .... me, well just a little , I love CF,
On a serious note it sounds very cool, if you've got the ability & skill to do it go for it, there’s nothing better than something unique that has been crafted by your own hands.

I can't wait to see some pictures if you decide to go for it.

Sounds neat, would love to see it done.
Carbon Joe is supost to be working on a dash for me modeled after the 911 dash, all in carbonfiber. he is supost to be done with it very soon but i havent talked to him in a few weeks so im not to sure on his progress. When he is back to making products im sure he will have them available.

I am bidding on some 914 gauges on ebay right now so if I win the auction I will make a fiber board mock up. I'll take some pictures then.
