Not sure where it's from, but it doesn't look like real carbon to me. Probably printed ABS.



Your pics are HUGE, by the way

sorry to say but that doesn't look like CF to me, it looks like a CF 'effect' dash board, more than likely be a plastic mould.

Sorry about the size of the pictures I should have adjusted them!!!

I'm not bothered if it's CF effect or the real thing! But the real thing will be expensive!!!!

It still looks better than the CF you were sent Alex!

Is it the sculpted look you are going for (ie rececessed fog gauges etc)? Or just the CF dash look?

There it is, yes?

Buy that, modify it to your liking, use it to make an mould, Prep the mould, wet lay real CF/epoxi in the mould...done!

If it is not to your liking to do this there are abolutley some very competent people/companys that can help you create the final item out of that plastic dash.
