MrFancypants Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Jackhammer - Got an estimate of cost on the reupholstering of the dash and door panels? - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have asked this and got no response....trade secret I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 WOW! Absolutely GORGEOUS! I hope you're bringing it to the convention in October at Daytona! I had my dash as well as all the plastic panels covered in Soft Touch vinyl which simulates a fine soft leather. I would rate it 10+ on the difficulty scale. 10 being the most difficult. Unless you are a expert upholsterer, covering the dash is best left up to a quality oriented professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackhammer Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Sorry guys for the slow responses. It has been a busy week with a new job and the usual family fray. I see you have a darker color around the cluster, is it just a different color or is it a different material???? It's kind of hard to see on the pictures... By the way, that is simply awe inspiring. It is black Soft Touch leather like vinyl. Initially it was going to be all one color....the silver gray (Iron -Soft Touch) however for some reason the gray vinyl had a tendency to wrinkle too much around the instrument cluster. So I decided to contrast with the black that was not prone to doing that. IMO it turned out even better. Jackhammer - Got an estimate of cost on the reupholstering of the dash and door panels? - Greg - Not really....I had the entire interior done....and was close to $3000.00.

Nunavut Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Has anyone built a dash from carbon fiber? would look great and be light weight too. There must be a company doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackhammer Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I have asked this and got no response....trade secret I guess... Texis....I apologize. No trade secrets...just extremely busy. As far as individual costs for just the dash or door panels... I am not really able to answer that because I had Mike do my entire interior at once. When you are visiting your in-laws please stop by....It would be great to meet you and I would love to show you the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e_racer1999 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Has anyone built a dash from carbon fiber? would look great and be light weight too. There must be a company doing this? i think that CF for a dash would n't be ideal because if the dash is shiny it will reflect the sun's light into our eyes, either directly or reflecting off of the windshield and that suede looks NICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 ROVdriver, did you do this yourself, or have it done by an upholsterer? Simply beautiful. It is exactly what I've wanted to do since seeing a Ferrari Dino years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackhammer Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 ROVdriver....the dash looks great. We need pics of the rest of the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 i think that CF for a dash would n't be ideal because if the dash is shiny it will reflect the sun's light into our eyes, either directly or reflecting off of the windshield and that suede looks NICE You could always use a "SATIN" clear coat over the last layer of resin... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few years ago, I went to a car show where there was this focus rally car on display, the dash was covered in a fuzzy like anti-glare (well I suppose that's what it was used for) stuff that, at first sight looked like suede but, upon closer examination, seemed to be SPRAYED ON. What brung me to believe this, was the fact that the original vents in the dash were fuzzy too and seemed stuck in place from the stuff... Anybody knows or seen what I'm talking about???

Bchappy Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 that fuzzy stuff is called flocking, it is used on all rally cars to reduce glare... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
