Turbo_Addict Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 All the plastic was broken from years of neglect - and when I installed my stereo, the rest of it all just fell apart. I needed something to clean it up and decided to try it with a 1.5mm thick piece of carbon fiber I found on ebay for $30. I think it came out pretty good... I am happy with it. It's not perfect by any means, but a whole bunch better than it was before! What do you think? http://xs63.xs.to/pics/06026/carbon1.JPGFree Image Hosting [xs.to] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo_Addict Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Thanks! But, now it's driving me nuts that my water temp gauge isn't the 'phantom' autometer... guess, I'll have to swap that out now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreal Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Looks good! I had a shop do an 83 console (with door) and regular style consoles, window switches, hvac bezel, shifter bezel, side mirror pieces, mirror control bezel, misc dash bezels in CF over lay for me. Really adds to the car I think! Do you plan on doing more items? Paulxkreal@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heefner Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I like the sport comp better than the phantom guague. 30 bucks is a pretty decent price. CF is expensive. I'm planning on doing my entire center console and fasten it with small cap head screws so that I can remove tranny with out tearing apart my radio/ac.

Turbo_Addict Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I think I'll probably do around the base of the shifter - who knows... if that comes out good, maybe I'll bring it up and finish the center console area. I'll make sure to wear a mask next time, I was sneezing out CF dust all day after all that cutting with the dremel. Here is the stuff I used - he still has some on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HAYAME-REAL...029730168QQrdZ1 It is 1.5MM thick and it is plenty strong enough to just cut some holes and mount the gauges directly on it - no need to reinforce anything. He also has some 0.2 mm thick stuff with peel of stick backing - that may work well for trimming in and around the shifter, and up through the power mirror seat belt release area where it doesn't need the reinforcing.
