WORLD'S ONLY carbon fiber OEM dash

gbrettin · 07-06-2020, 12:46 PM

My dash is gummy on my car from hanging out in storage for the last three years, humidity issue probably? Whatever the case is, I'm interested in the dash if it is a carbon fiber infused dash and not an overlay. I see that the thread is a few years old so I'm not even sure if this is a thing you are doing still. Madwi told me about this which is why I am kicking up this thread.

If this is a vacuum bag process and have no desire to do it, I would be happy to chat with you about options doing the work myself. I have all the carbon fiber infusion supplies and have individuals that can work with me to make a dash. I'd prefer not to recreate the wheel if it's already done at a high quality level.

Thanks!

Is this all overlay stuff or are these based on forms?

It is not an overlay.

Well, perhaps there is room for a small group buy? I'm in not in any hurry for the dash. I'd like to have something by 2/2021 ideally.

Madwi is sitting here with me and outloud was thinking maybe y'all could get a deal if y'all bought two and had them shipped together

I didn't mean "overlay" like a 3M sticky solution or vinyl wrap. I meant... Because there is a core required, he preps the core, sprays epoxy resin. Then lays C.B. onto the core. Forms it over, trims, and then sprays a couple layers of epoxy resin to smooth it out. Last coat is 4k clear of some sort.

If it was a form and used vacuum technique, he obviously wouldnt be asking for cores.

Maybe. He could have a form and vacuum bag the outer piece; After that, bond the part to the core so it bolts back into place.

OEM sticky dash here, beautiful replacement piece if still available.

I should too but I can't find it now. You met him in person, so would you mind checking in with him?
