Carbon Fibre Panels....

[smok74]

Im after expressions of interest for carbon fibre panels in 1,2 and 3 DIN sizes to mount your gauges, rocket switches, turbo timer or boost controller in your air-con control and stereo slots ?

These panels will be made out of high quality SUPER CLEAR epoxy resins and A-grade carbon fibre fabric. Panels will be supplied as blanks so you can cut whatever size holes you like for your gauges or switches etc.....

Just an idea .... I've gotten rid of the ash tray in the centre console in my R33, replaced it with a piece of carbon fibre panel that surrounds the face of my Greddy turbo timer..... nice n neat.

I've also relocated the aircon control to inside the glovebox by extending the wiring harness (TOOK ME AGES !!!), pissed the stereo off (rather listen to the Garrett) and mounted 6x Autometer Cobalt gauges along with 4 rocket launcher switches (fuel pumps, fans, intercooler sprayer etc) and their respective led lights onto a 3-DIN carbon panel..... FULL RACE CAR LOOK....even more so with my Safety21 cage lol

Anyways....

I can also supply carbon fibre fabric / sheets for repairs jobs.....Ive even bonded the stuff to my strut towers in the engine bay to stiffen them up !

I will post up photos of the finished product(s) soon.....watch this space.....

Message or email me if you are interested - [email protected]

Cheers.

Hey mate... Sounds great.

Sounds more like a Group Buy than a FS thread though!

Moved!

I have one already, but would like more carbon fibre DIN inserts

[wisey18]

I would like my Tripple gauge, air con vents and air con control unit all in cf to match the gear stick suround in an R34 Gtt.

Would be keen to get these done by you if possible.

Watching.

Where's the carbon fiber @??? +1 for interest

[W0rp3D]

pics and prices.

Keen depending on price etc...would like to replace the piece of plain black I've got my EBC and oil temp gauge mounted on..

This is what the material looks like.....genuine carbon fabric.

These are photos of the testing stage,

* Focusing isnt the best as I tried to get close to capture the finish - No bubbles at all due to the type of resin I use. Most people use polyester resins which is thick and therefore traps the air bubbles, this is okay for fibreglass as it's usually painted over. But for carbon fibre, because transparency is required, the clearer the better to capture the lush effects of the carbon fabric. Even most epoxy resins people use is not clear enough for my liking.

The resin I use is water-thin; a special casting resin specially developed for it's extra clear properties. In this application, it is applied in thinner coats which is more time consuming, but it does not trap air bubbles like polyester and by looking at the photos, you will not find anything else that's as clear as this in terms of finish. It's so smooth you can see my reflection off it.

This resin is also UV-resistant therefore it can be used for exterior components as well - Im about to mould a carbon blade for my GTR wing to see how that would turn out.....

Photo of finished product coming soon.
