Found this while looking at fiberglassed dashes:

Don't know, don't care if it's a repost, just wanted to share. This would be really awesome in flat black with texture coating.

[burnsauto]

wow...i really like that. and i usually hate glassed dashes.... this one is more..."organized" than most.

[S14DB]

Gonna earn points on the show circuit.

[derek_s13]

it's cool, yeah.

but if they're fiberglassing a whole dash, they could've been more creative.



i've always thought a gauge or two above the driver's side air vent (to the left of the cluster hump) in an s13 would make the most sense, but it's impossible to mount one there and not look ghetto as shit.

or they could've done something cool with the center air vents. put upright, angled gauge pods
in there or something.



meh. not impressed i guess.

[s13 @ fullboost]

thats slick i would buy it if my car was worthy

[SexPanda]

overkill...

msglnght

Never mind im gonna make it longer... That is too glassy smooth looking. It really gives it that fast and furious look... in a bad way IMO. I like the whole 'its actually a race car" look. Regular dash, with holes for a roll cage, gauges drilled and bolted in. I like that, IDK why, I just do.

[luisgonz]

I got my gauges duct taped on Like a true gANgsTa.:fruit:

[BustedS13]

that'll be awesome in the sun. or any sort of light source, at all, ever.

it'd be a lot cooler if they gave it a more OEM looking matte finish.

[ESmorz]

Two less gauge holes and it would look a lot better. I'd take it in flat brown and textured if I had a need for it.

[timlush]

Holy light reflection!

[GSXRJJordan]

I was actually just talking with the g/f about 'glassing in my 3 60mm gauges. I'm doin it in the same spot. Great inspiration though :)

[brndck]

that thing is gonna glare like a sonofabitch. needs to be flocked or sprayed something non-reflective. but cool idea tho!

[touge monster]

I think three would be perfect. Five is definitely too much, especially in the same spots.

[Gjohnson7]

Nice, but like others have said. Too many gauges and you could only drive at night.

[ms!3]

Pretty neat. Dont care for the gloss tho, too flashy. Should of wrapped it or used that SEM texture coating.

[ZX88]

dude that is SEX ASAP.

[S13Boosts]

thats RICE.... I rather have a suede dash insted....

[GSXRJJordan]

You can always coat the dash with anything you want...

[97KATURBOSILVIA]

thats RICE.... I rather have a suede dash insted....

+^^^^yes suede, but wow it looks clean lots of prep went into it. Gotta were super polarized glasses when driving in daytime

[SoloSilvia]

I like the look of it, but I hope they have a cover to throw on top if driving in the sun! I did this on my dash Years ago, actualy I fiberglassed my whole interior years ago and it looked cool. But driving during the day was a bitch! I always threw a towel over the dash so i wouldnt blind myself. It won me Hottest Nissan at Hot Import Nights though! After one summer of that interior I ripped it out and is now hanging on my shop wall for display, lol. Now I have a full suede interior which looks mad cleaner and no glares on the suede! :rawk:

[JRas]

one word glare.

[Gjohnson7]

Man, let's see pics of your suede interior. I'm considering sueding the dash of my build.

[gotta240]

How much is it?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Thats pretty awesome, I must admit. I'd rather it be satin black, I wouldn't want anything that shiny.

[TheArkitekt]

I like it, seems like a few to gauges for me, thats what a datelogger is for IMHO. but it looks gangster! I would love to see it in full CF

[str4g63]

awsome intirior, suede everything damn.. if you don't mind, how much was that.. I like that better than the fiberglass dash..

[murda-c]

That's exactly how i'm doing mine, except with cross stitched leather inserts instead of white.

[SoloSilvia]

I got everything done for around $1,500 including the floormats. No seats. I have a business account setup with the interior shop so I got a discount on it all. I was quoted alot more from other shops! I woulda wrapped this all myself, but I wouldnt have been able to do the stitching parts!

The white was kinda a bad idea, it looks nice, flows with my car, but.... keepin it clean is a bitch! lol

[Entry Speed]

Those suede door panels look fucking awesome

makes the interior look a lot more modern

SICK

[240cracker]

ill take the fiber glass...

[SoloSilvia]

So as I stated I ditched my Fiberglass to go suede for numerous reasons. But, I figured Id share this since it a fiberglass dash thread. Heres a pic I dug outa my photbucket from when I had a full fiberglass interior. I still have this complete interior sitting in my shop if anyone wants it!

[kyoru]

Too glossy IMO would be killer if it was matte

[dued]

Please post more pics of the fiberglass s14 dash yo. I am considering going fiberglass on mine, but would like to give it a stock appearance, flat black, no gloss. How long did it take to do the whole interior?

[gregfarz78]

Nice fabrication work on that dash but I hate glossy dashes that car is probably a trailer queen and only driven to shows, I can't imagine driving that car every day the sun glare on that would be horrible

*hot pics*



Dude, +rep for you. That shit is 85,000 steps better than your fiberglass setup. A how-to on suede interior would be greatly appreciated :)

[ZenkiCam]

^^^ nice! too bad its in atlanta!

[exitspeed]

I did my glove box like this. 100% better then the tweed.

Nice work. Not my taste, but still, nice work.

[SinisterSntra91]

That suede is bad ass but I bet its a bia bia to keep clean.

Why would one be searching for fiberglass dashes in the first place?

they weigh less
cheap
durable

why wouldn't you consider one?!

[gregfarz78]

They don't weigh less and I'm sure that cost him a few hundred to build that dash

Sarcasm is not lost on you...

[SR2Zero]

In my opinion suede on a dash doesn't look good. Rice/whatever you say about that one is pure craftsmanship... It's nice. I probably, again as others said, would have gone with a flat black look/texturized. But I don't think I can bear it to have a fuzzy feeling dash.

[luckyslide16]

Cover that bitch in suede and Ill take one!
