Fiberglass dashes? Making Custom Fiberglass Boxes? Help

Phact · #1 10-12-2002, 08:45 PM

alright ill stick to my first question. Fiberglass Dashes? is it possible i've seen pictures on line of peoples dashes are shinny and shit and im thinking it cant be the vinyl. so is it possible and if it is, is it it cheap? because on my 91 civic si i got dumb and decided to paint my door panels and dash and hell everyone completly got careless and fucked all my interior up. so im thinking if possible my alternative moto is going fiberglass dash(or what ever it is people do instead of just painting there dashes)

I'm getting rid of my 4g soon(yes i know) and getting a newer car which i might go show or either go on or both. but my lady is getting a prelude and we want a custom fiberglass enclosure...i looked very quikly in the interior forum but i didnt quite understand it. could i do it myself without messing something up. anyway
please help.

YES The Shiny Dash Is Fiberglass !! CHEAP HA HA HA. First Off Finding A Place To Do It Is Hard!!! If YOu Can Find A Place!! A WHOLE COMPLETE Dash Is Going To Run At Least 4-5 Thousand Dollars!!!! (The Stock Vinly Looks A Lot Better Now Doesnt It)

opps i read it wrong. but how can it be universal...i would think width on a car over years would switch a little.

its not meant to be perfect!! its just the general shape!!

it all depends on how serious you want to go. i have seen it done where the vinyl is shaved off down to the material, and a little 'glass is added, or a complete remake where you create the whole damn thing. if you take a look at some car audio and electronics style magazines you'll see a lot of that, and they talk about fiberglass enclosures a lot.

thats exactly what i was thinking

like i said before its gonna run you no less than 4 grand!! and the reason is so high, is because not just anybody can make the dashes, you have to be trained, and have the tools!! what you call a winter project is gonna end up being a 3-4 year project!! and dont Sand down your dash if you mess up your screwed!!! also if you just want to mount your cd player in a different spot, just get a custom fiberglass cover for it!!

mycivicisonair · #14 10-14-2002, 11:53 PM

um its not gonna be a 4 year project..

seeing as how the dash comes premade. all u gotta do is mount ur shit and paint it.. i never saw a 4 year paintjob.. and 4 grand is a bit rediculous even if u got someone to do it for u

hes talking custom dash, not a premade racing dash!!!
