Red carbon fiber dash kit for headunit?

Jsmith7861 · 01-27-2014, 08:56 PM

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.

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

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

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.

Jsmith7861 · 01-29-2014, 06:26 PM

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.

Masterbeatty · 01-29-2014, 07:27 PM

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.
