After the first of the year ill start up a mold for the dash face plate/ash tray and shift console. theyre really easy, not sure why no ones done em yet... ive got all the stuff to do epoxy or polly two dif weeves of cf, gel coats even pearls. black gel with a hint of abolone in the clear would be sick. Ill let everyone know and post pics when i pop the first part.Ive done lots of cf / fiber glass work on high end rc boats with 3 stage paint ecc.these are big and way easier to work with.

Cant Stop Wont Stop
I know I had seen some on a site but I dont remember which one. They had different types of finishes, wood, aluminum, cf look, and supposedly real cf. If I remember correctly it was around $400 for the front and back, dash, doors, etc.

Ive searched everywhere, all thats offered is cover pieces that stick on over your factory part i.e "dash kits". Im refering to complete replacement pieces. Done with a mold of the factory parts, clear gel coated and cf/epoxy ecc.. to replace the factory plastics.

No, this is all thats out there though. Its a thin piece of c/f or whatever with sticky foam on the back. there glorified over priced stickers. yeah they look nice but there stickers to stick on your real parts. thats like buying a crome sticker to stick over your bumper to ' HOP IT UP A BIT" but then charging $300 for it .
