You shoulda said that But, i wanna see them do a wood dash or atleast show what type of wood they have.

 

Wood belongs on a Bentley! J/K

I also would like to do my Tach ring in CF to match my JCW cf Shifter ring

 

hahahah and CF belongs on Ferraris and race cars

That's what intrigues me the most about the vendor....you could get the dash, but the fact that they could do it on any of the interior silver pieces is really cool. "CF" downtubes and CF door bars would be really cool

 

With NASCAR doing whole vehicle vinyl wraps instead of paint, just how hard is it to vinyl wrap a dash with any conceivable graphic that you desire???

Not hard at all!!!!

 

true it wouldnt be difficult but if they're doing it using the same technique as the link rally provided i'd imagine alignment and positioning of the said graphics would be extremely difficult

 

I dont know about "not hard at all".....it's definitely do-able, but take a look at the complex curves of the dash underneath the speedometer. Wrapping a solid color vinyl would be hard enough.....then try doing it with a pattern or graphic without warping the image.....it's probably hard, but possible.

This stuff doesnt appear to be vinyl at all......looks like the hydrofilm stuff that i posted a few posts up which allows much less distortion to the pattern and makes complex curves much easier. It also appears to have a very heavy/thick clearcoat

 

http://www.skinzwraps.com Here is a link. I agree the complex curves may present a challenge. However, I also think a good computer program could compensate the graphic for those curves. The 3-D graphics look so cool.

 

Funny, i always thought our cars ARE little race cars!

Anyway yes, the fact that he is able to do these are parts in a CF look wrap is awesome! I already have the downtubes in leather and door bars in leather and considered doing the dash too, but i think the CF dash will complement eachother well

 

Thanks for all the kind words. Let me answer some of the questions that are asked in this thread, there are some good ones. If any of you have other questions that you need answered just PM me or ask them here. Yes, the site has limited pictures but we are adding more all the time.

We have some dashes in stock so no, you don't have to wait for the exchange.

There will be pics of a black/black CF dash in the next few days.

Yup. We are working on samples of wood on MINI parts. I will post wood on sample parts on the site in the next few days.

Same process as above, however I am a MINI owner so I am very familiar with the MINI.

Chris, if you feel that way you can come to IL and do a "carbon Fiber Fantasy camp."

Nah, we were not asked to become vendors, we decided it was in our best interest to become vendors. I have had the screen name for a wile though.

Just about any color you can think of. If your car is liquid yellow you can have a yellow/black weave or a yellow/yellow weave. White/white looks killer, very subtle.

In the next few days I will have a dash in black/black on the site.

We have some dashes in stock so no, you don't have to wait for the exchange. If you want to do the core thing that is cool too, but the core is not cheap at all.

I have one that is drying right now. Pics to follow.

We are doing downtubes and door handles for a customer now. The parts have not gotten here yet but they will arrive soon. Pics to follow.

Here is the sample next to the JCW wing. As you can see the weave is a bit lager.


Here is the sample on the hood of an Astro Black MINI.

 

Cool I look forward to it

 

That Fantasy Camp would be amazing.
What is that thing wrapped in CF?^

 

^ Ditto what he said.

But im lookin forward to seeing the Tach ring

 

Chicago is only a short 3(ish) hours from me.

 

The sample in the picture is just a shape that shows off what the finishes can do. It is supposed to look like a car shape.

 

Ahha, well it looks cool.

 

Some of you requested some pics. Here you go, a preview of the photo shoot scheduled for tomorrow.

White Carbon Weave (up close it looks like white/silver) From a distance it just looks cool!

 

Wowwwwww.....the wood looks NICE

Thanks for taking the time to go ahead and do all this to share samples with us so quickly.....seem to be a solid vendor. That's respectable

 

Thanks man. Samples as well as some customer parts.

 

CooperGear- I can't wait to talk to you tomorrow.

 

So does that CF dash Thanks for the pic.

So do you have the 5pc CF dash in stock ?

Also, me wonders how hard it is to install. My concern is removing the passenger side airbag and the piece just behind the tach (i have the Mini boost/volt gauge set, so it appears i have to remove those as well)

 

I don't have any 5 piece dashes in stock, mine are all 3 piece. The tach is not that bad to remove. The airbag piece is a challenge, so I hear.

Man, this stuff is just AWESOME!

Since this is a mod I can't "sneek" by my other half, I better start coming up with some justification...

Nice

Finally someone able to make CF tach ring, speedo and vent rings

 

is it just me who like to see one of those machined turned aluminum or stainless dash?

dam.... if only i had 400 bucks
