Flocking

Hey guys,

Got my head unit surround and the gearbox column cover flocked this week, just got the parts back last night and fitted them today.

if some of you dont know flocking is what the rally cars used on the dash boards to eliminate reflections on the wind screen, although it is now being used on various parts of the car.

its done by using a resin and then a positive and negative charge which then attracts fibres and makes them stand on end, giving it a furry feeling...something like that anyway

here's a couple pics.......... if anyone else has had stuff like this done feel free to post your pics

Looks good, I want to try & get my full dash done rather than the cheap looking Jap Plastic.

Here is one of another Evo 6 with the full dash done
