Cockpit veiw, blacked out w/carbon

Cockpit veiw, blacked out w/carbon-rantj.jpgFeels like some sort of space ship or something

Everything blacked out with plastidip, and I did the steering column in 2x2 twill weave carbon fiber w/gloss finish.
The dash I did in 2x2 twill carbon fiber w/ matte finish
The crown meter cover I did in 1x1 plain weave carbon fiber, with a semi gloss (converted to matte finish since this pic)
If you look below the speedo, you can see an Innovate AFR gauge that I sunk into the OEM dash all stealth style. Sits flush into the mount I built into the OEM housing

Underhood, I made a totally new, smaller, not ugly red, positive terminal cover
made a carbon fuse box cover and relays using OEM cores so they fit and are watertight
made kevlar (the yellow) inserts for the ECU brace
still need to do a lot more.

Looks good, although your going to have a huge reflection issue with the steering column piece in bright daylight. Your matte finish would probably work out really well to eliminate that.

Do you have any wider angle shots?

Actually haven't had any issue with the column reflections on that column at all, and i did sand off the crown meter and reshoot it with a matte finish, that did glare.

I used to do my dashes, sometime still do, with a super bright, high solid clear with no tint. That would cause some blinding, had to start tinting the clear a little bit.

probably never. not giving money to a fraud, that whole thread is a lie, I already issued refunds directly to customers I could contact. Notice how the only person who could prove it is a lie is banned? Shocking.

here's the center console I did, I deleted all the cig lighter ashtray stuff and used a 12k plain weave. I originally did it in candy blue, but didn't like it so I redid it with regular clear and added a bronze coat to the bezel thing

I used to sell it, even bought a merchant account with another EvoX site and got banned in 2 weeks. That was a waste of money
