Carbon Fiber Dash

[MiamieNeSeX]

Purchased the Carbon Fiber dash insert from SOS but it didnt come looking like the picture on the website.

No big deal. I was going to tape everything off and spray paint but a walk thru the local hobby shop and I found this.

15 minutes later I had this

And it went from this

To this

Great quality on the carbon fiber, everything went smoothly, it took about an hour and a half from start to finsh........... now what to do with all these extra screws.




Thanks Chris and Seth

That looks great. So great that I just placed my order, and even went so far as to locate a metalic Sharpie marker in the Staples catalog. I just ordered carbon pillar pods, and if I get gauges with aluminum bezels this will look good together. Thanks for posting.

I also have the type R shift boot with the CF insert, I am waiting for my gauges to install the CF pillar pods, everything should tie in real nice once complete.

Good luck with the painting, take your time and have some q tips and some hobby paint brush cleaner handy.

No charge for yours but send me the royalty checks, or maybe just SOS credit for all those that you sell.

how hard is it to take apart the pod?

Also,

I think SoS should change the picture on the website to accurately represent the product. Or at least sell the aluminum rings on there...

I know I would not be happy if I got something that did not look like the product in the picture.

It wasnt that big of a deal, taking the dash out took about 30 minutes, The bezels are part of the dash insert I dont think you can get alluminum rings, unless you get them smaller to fit inside the existing rings.

I have added a note on the website that the rings are painted, thanks for the advice. The plastic rings need to be transfered from the old insert piece to the new one, I will make sure a note is included in the boxes.

Just curious but my dash came with the rings attatched, and when I removed my old dash the rings were also attatched.
