Carbon dash trim - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JPM Coachworks · 06-28-2012, 01:06 AM

My personal view on carbon is that it has been overused and overworked within the aftermarket and even by the OEMs. It is a beautiful way to accent the interior of a vehicle but it can quickly turn into "too much". The same may be said for leather, Alcantara or even Audi's famous piano black trim.

I don't know why (because I like the FRS dash) but this really interests me. Please do it, post pics!

subscribed. interested in dash trim kit for my limited BRZ (to cover up the silver)

How much upfront fees would be needed to start a real carbonfiber replacement? For those that are interested.

I'd be interested in a dash that can cover the sides if one were to install aftermarket double din head units. Cover it in such a way that there are no gaps on the side.

This is actually what I'm looking for. How does it work? I ship my parts to your father and after he's done he ship it back to me?

There's a local guy here that is not replacing the parts but just adding carbon to it and it turned out great.

It's cheaper and easier (and likely doesn't add enough weight to matter) to just overlay the existing parts with carbon fiber. Like Alex said, it's easy to go overboard, so pick your parts wisely. Personally I only want to overlay the center dash piece, and the rest of the parts I will do something different like satin chrome or piano black.

Any update on this? The ones that come with the FRS scratch if you look at them.

You can pay TRD a grip for the ones they have, about $580.

NEVERMIND: Just realized they are RHD only.
