My custom dash in my FRS - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

also it would look better if the lines were a little thicker (diameter) and flush. They look worse because of the embossed look and bad paint. You could do it a little more tastefully, but I would go ahead and carbon wrap if I were you.

well it certainly livens up the cabin !! Looks nice.. Well done

Well, this is definately a different strokes for different folks situation.

Its not my taste, but it seems to be decently done. I suggest spraying it with clear coat to remove the distraction of the height difference of the tribal pattern. All in all, not bad.

I admire the time and effort that went into doing that but I think you're right about covering it.

Some mistakes are a little more permanent.

red carbon would be ok as well, but since the OP seems to have a tribal tat anyway, why not keep it that way?

monkeedoo · 05-31-2013, 02:46 PM

Any updates on the carbon dash? I hopefully will have time to finish at least one of my panels this weekend. Certainly not perfect though.

Wow.. Judgmental much? I applaud your attempt to customize your car to be something you enjoy. I don't care what most people think about the things I do, as long as it makes me happy.

MmmHamSandwich · 05-31-2013, 04:18 PM

Not feeling that particular design, however I appreciate the approach you took and the work you put into it.

Wouldn't surprise me if we see some more DIY's like this with different themes.

marky · 05-31-2013, 04:40 PM

Every time you sit in the car you turn into this. Your horns can take advantage of the concave roof

thill · 05-31-2013, 05:52 PM

I vote carbon fiber wrap all the way. Obviously it is your car and you should do what you want, but it is just too much for me.
