Red carbon fiber dash kit for headunit?
 

Hey guys, done a bit of searching without luck, does anyone know if this exists or can be special made from somewhere? I know EVO-R has a black carbon fiber one, but im looking for red. To clarify, im only looking for the headunit part that goes around the knobs, not the whole center for the cubby and all.

Check out Carbon Fiber Element, they're a vendor on here and are recommended by a lot of people.

I did my entire interior for 1/4 the price over the course of 4 months. I got all my stuff from compositeenvisions.com they have hundreds of colors and weaves.

Can you post pictures of how it turned out? i might try this

All of that looks amazing, but I dont even have a clue how to make my own lol. Unless I missed something on there.

You just put it on like a sticker over your current setup

Get real cf. No stickers

Negative ghostryder. That stuff is the real deal! It is carbon and colored Kevlar woven cloth. Read in the details. It's probably the same place a current forum vender uses to wrap their stuff with.

I will post some pics later after I change my oil. I got the black carbon and orange Kevlar to match the gauges. I also did the engine cover and rear brace bar too.

I saw the rigid panels had a 3m adhesive option

Im in for pics^^^

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos for awhile before growing a pair and actually do it. But the turn out was awesome. Everyday I get compliments. I thought about doing it on the side but my job gets busy at random intervals so I can't commit to something. That and it's been cold as **** in ct and i have no garage. The process sounds easy but it's not. But I did one part a week and it was not as hard on you. When I did the brace bar I didn't drive it for a few days till I got it back in as I did not want to risk bending the frame even if it is a small chance.

Can you explain the process a bit? And is that orange or red? Either way, looks great man! I personally dont want my cubby done, but that looks great!


Edit: Nvm about the color, re-read your earlier post.

In a nut she'll you take the piece off. Paint on the base coat of resin, let it dry to a tack. Then wrap the piece in CF, apply first coat of resin. Let it fully dry. Sand smooth, repeat 2 more times. Then sand smooth and apply a clear coat or use a fine polish. Then reinstall and enjoy. The sanding and finishing is the hard part. Trying to get it to not look like old man balls is harder than you might think. That's why I did it one piece at a time. The brace bar removal was the biggest pain in the a$$ removing all the surrounding trim. Pm me if you are interested in the do's and dont's. I helped a friend in Cali do his '12 GSX-R plastics over the phone. The kits are cheap and they have all the right stuff. But I had to buy more sand paper, brushes and gloves.

Whenever you want hit me up...I'll take care of you...Here's some parts done in the red kevlar...Done the Right Way...

Notice how i said the Right Way, smooth finish, weave layed straight. 10 years of experience here. Not someone experimenting in the garage. Its not as simple as people think it is.

:tup: that hand brake looks sick! I don't have a red car but would like something like that with normal cf (??)

That ebrake was actually an aluminum piece sent in to us by a member on here. His whole interior was done in red to match. Im not even sure the make of the piece but i know he had to machine it out to fit the z. We can do plain cf also.

I see, i think that's Simota's set up then lol.

You guys make some sick parts you guys would have my business in the future :tup: (don't know how soon but you will :tiphat:)

Yes sir. Simota it was

That stuff looks excellent. You will be hearing from me after this trip about the stereo and door inserts.

CarID sells dash kits in colors.You can buy specific parts.Not the entire kit.
If you are looking for color CF,the real stuff is actually a CF/Kevlar hybrid.
THe only colors I've seen are red,blue and silver.I know ZCF does gauge pods and door barrel covers in this material.
I don't like the pics of the red CF.Too coarse looking.Weave twill pattern too large for the pieces.Needs to be 2x2.
I have black CF on my gauge coves(see my pic to the left).THe twill patterns all match and are the right size for
the pieces.

Those pics are a 2x2 twill weave of red kevlar and cf material. Same weave as a full plain cf 2x2 twill. And they actually have red,yellow,orange, and blue. Then they make a full texalium material which is silver. There's no silver kevlar. Then you can get into reflective materials that are cf with strands of colors in them, no kevlars. Anything Car Id sells would be same material as what I just post. Difference is when you install their garbage you would probably see the edges of the pieces and where the stick on stops. Mine is full wrap so goes right to the edge. Then airbrushed. And finally cleacoated.

And isnt CarID's stuff stick on?

Yup:shakes head:

Yeah, no thanks.

carbon fiber element for the win bro... they have awesome customer service....
