Carbon dash?! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well my friend bought one for his car but its made for like a drag car,,too hardcore for me noone makes them for 240's i dont think anyways,, I was wondering if I can just have my stock dash covered in cf and have it look good? like show cars do with fiberglass..Is that possible with carbon?

Seems like a waste of money, but I'm sure it can be done. Best bet would be to check custom CF dealers online. I know one site did a Mercury Cougar ( :ghey: ) interior outta carbon fiber. Anything can be done with enough money.

yes. just get the carbon fiber and resin etc. takes a lot of work though. you could do it yourself if you were good at it, or just pay lots of cash to a company to do it. its expensive either way.

Yea fuck it it propably isnt worth it,, I dont think my car is built enough to pull off that look yet anyway. I would like a quote but there isnt anyone locally that messes with cf. I didnt know heli blades were carbon,, crazy.

sadly, i used to have a cougar. the guy that did that layed the CF over the dash, i think. that's all he ever did though. 99% of mods for cougs are visual mods.

fat, FWD, and the bastard children of FoMoCo... sad.

Its sad that I am the first one to bring it up but....

having no dash is lighter than a CF dash.... and infinately cheaper

First one to bring it up but not the first to do. I know Mike doesn't (at least I think he still doesn't) have a dash. :P
