    Carbon fiber dash look

    Am thinking about giving my Coupe dash a carbon fiber finish look. Any suggestions or places to get this kind of laminate that looks good on top of the supplied aluminum dash?
    If you have any other suggestions please let me know.
    Tips and pics are very welcome as well.

    Amazon. Go with the 3m product. Works good I used it on my BMW interior a few years back and I'll be using it again for my 33 hotrod.

    It’s real carbon fiber that you can laminate to your existing aluminum dash with their supplied 3M adhesive. Many different types/finishes/colors to choose from. Did this one for a fellow Forum Member:

    I used the 3M vinyl carbon fiber wrap material on my Coupe dash. Was easy to apply and easy to replace if you damage it.

    You can also hydro dip it. With the angles etc. it may come out cleaner.

    Tim,

    check out Fellers, Inc. They ahttps://www.fellers.com/re the largest supplier of vinyl wrap material. They also happen to be a tenant...so if I want something, I just walk next door. If you find something you like, just let me know, I'll pick it up and give it to Dave to bring down with him when he comes down in a couple of weeks. We buy from them regularly for our printing/vehicle wrap operations.

    You might want to check out Taco Joes lessons learned YouTube video. A little over half way you can see what it looks like. I think he may have mentioned what it was. If not you could always ask him I’m sure.
