That's where you mount some gauges! Idiot lights go bye bye unfortunately, just gotta relocate them or something.

it is an overlay. I was thinking about the same thing...Burgundy and cf mix really well, but i think i could just paint the rest of the dash black, but whatever floats your boat, at least it is a full cover. I am also going to get rid of the extensions around the glove compartment....those were giving me bubble problems and might help with the color issue as well. This will also make it less expensive for me to make.

k now i got rid of the sideburns around the glove compartment so it looks much better and doesnt make so much for a contrast, looks more like a toupe now loool.....this thing doesnt look half bad for only being halfway done. I didnt even layup a second layer before i pulled it and when i cut the excess i did it in a matter of minutes cuz I didnt really care....anyhow what I am going to do is make another one of these out of fiberglass, and clean it up a bit in a few spots and make a mold from it and then Ill make cf ones from the second mold. Anyone want one of these in FG for 50 bux?

problem with all of that is that i have to be able to get to all of that in order to mold it and make a cf cover and I cant get back there and dont feel like tearing my car up to get to it.....i think ill just paint it all black....

ahh well
personally, yes i would pay 150$, and if your gonna use that price, you will sell a lot. FC3S.org in their store, has one that just goes over the driver side of the dash, just above the gauge pod for i think 150$, just a small piece. 150 is a low price for it, and it looks damn good

I wonder if anyone knows that the red t2 at the top of the forum is your car. I am going to post pics of it to show it off if you dont mind. I feel post promiscuous at the moment.
