Does anyone or has anyone done any work to their dashes with either paint or kit?

Would love to see pics.

Thanx,
ynoT

 

I know people have painted the silver part red, blue, etc. but i havn't seen/heard anybody do any fiberglass work if thats what your referring to....sorry i couldn't help.

 

I have seen a few painted ones around. I think it looks pretty good.

 

i will get some pics up soon, mine will be blue, and include a neon music interface, where the black plastic thing is, no more lumps for heated seats, molded in bracket for cd player, so it is one piece with the silver thing, and include a 7 inch in dash monitor on top, and my alpine deck in the middle.... shall be orgasmic

 

very soon i should have my interior pics up. my entire interior was ripped out and redone. dash, seats, rug etc. we gutted the car entirely. so within the next week or so i should have some pics up.

 

I can't wait until your car is done. It's going to be sex on wheels

 

i painted my dash trim, inside of gauges, and gauge bezel red, and the shroud i clear coated. i also painted all 4 inside pillars flat black.

 

That looks pretty good. Some carbon fiber would be nice too.

 

looks really good!

 

thanks man, the only thing is that some of the pieces didn't snap back in as tight as they first were. the radio surround sticks out about 1/16" now, and the DIC buttons sometimes stick, it's wierd. i tried making sure the metal clips were on as good as possible before i reassembled everything but it didn't seem to make a difference. either way, it was really easy to do, only took a day. the color is Duplicolor Cherry Red Enamel, with 4 coats of Duplicolor Clear Enamel.

i wish somebody made the CF kits. not the stick on kind, but the actual pieces. i remember they have them for the 350Z and you send in your stock parts as a core, pretty cool stuff.

 

Looks good GS. If you get a dash kit, I would advise against the ones that are the adhesive based. Yes the M3 is probably a good adhesive, but I've heard those kits can't stand up to the heat down here in Texas.

 

don't worry about it man, the only way i'd get a CF dash kit is if it were actual pieces of CF, not the overlays--those things suck. hopefully someone will come out with the real stuff soon.

 

GSoccer.,... u got more pics?... i was thinking about doing the exact same thing to mine ever since i got it...i tried photoshopping but the **** aint the same...(especially with the middle...cause the firs thting i noticed was that painting the head unit was too hard to b worth it and painting the A/C would b basically impossible...so i wanna see how that looks straight on too)

 

that's really the only pic i have of it. i can work on getting a couple more tho

 

spray painting interior pieces is so tacky

 

IMO can't argue with stock.

 

Don't wanna step on any vendors toes though.maybe I'll produce some and see if they'll carry em. I dunno just throwin that out there.


Just some background I'm a senior product design student concentrating in automotive interiors. Heres some of my work.



Think thered be any interest?

 

um dv8, what would you make? im confused, and those interiors look sick, but i bet they cost a lot of money ... lol

 

I really like this look and seeing as I have red this may be on the to do list. Also why are your pillar's black as mine are the color of the head liner. This would allow the pillar post gauge designs to work if both pillars were then painted black.

ps GSoccer24 do you want to come to Canada and do mine

 

both my pillars have been smoothed primed, and will be arrival blue by next weekend. also have a dual gauge pod molded into the drivers side, as well as a 3.5 inch speaker on each side..... it isnt to hard to mold 2 or 3 gauges in, and paint them any color you want... i honestly think the screw on pods look tacky, so molded my own in, therefore there is no seams... i will have pics up next weekend

 

Lets see them because if they are top quality and I can get away with doing either black or red then getting a 3 gauge pillar is more doable.

 

they are top quality my friend, and i will prove it in approximatly 4 days.... be prepared!

 

and you can get whatever color you want, you want victory red, you got it! i will show you soon

 

Its kind of a bad situation. I wish i had all black interior but yet i had to have the G85. i wasnt about to get the blue in the interior. but i have to go with silver probably because of my seats

 

dont mean to bring this back from the dead but anyone know where i can get a real aluminum dash trim kit? not adhesive aluminum but the real deal?.. im getting really annoyed with the trim from gm, keeps peeling around the hvac controls.. anyone know the part number for the hvac control piece.
