Well it can be trimmed with tin snips or a good pair of scissors, but if you want to cut holes or windows in them then no. You would need a dremel with a diamond wheel, even though it's thin (.023) it's still very very tuff stuff.

bummer, i was thinking of using a Olfa circle cutter that uses a sharp exacto like blade. so i guess i might hold off on using CF for material.

911 dash

A few years back I saw a company that built a early 911 dash for a 1303 I looked back through my links but can't find anything... I would love a 911 style dash out of Carbon...

where did you get that pic?
I saw a company a few years ago that made an early 911 style dash for the 1303... have not been able to find them online any more. It would be cool to have it with the key on the left like the 911 also.

Hoffmann in Germany sells them too and Remmele makes them in Carbon Fibre.
