Title: carbon fiber centre consol trim
Post by: AlanT on 26 March 2008, 16:28
obviously the brushed alluminium is the most popular route at the moment for the dash trim, but i'm doing a composites course at my ork at the moment, and can get some carbon fibre sheeting for nout, so i'm thinking about doing the trim as a little project.

anyone got any pics of this already done so i can see wat it might look like?

anyone thing of any reason why i shouldnt?

i would say go for it mate, if you like that look then do it, you can always replace it if it looks wank

Individuality is the key
