did you make that while sitting on the *******? of all places, you took the picture in the bathroom.



go to a machine shop and ask them how much it would cost to make like 50 of them. see what they say. it might be worth it.


If I could find a ------- 5spd hatch or crx, i would buy one from you. wouldnt give you more than about $20 for it...but i would rock one.

Since when do machine shops have anything to do with carbon fiber?
my father-in-law has a little side business that he does...he gives a machine shop CF sheets and they cut and drill holes in it for him. he makes custom wind deflectors for sport touring motorcycles. its really dam simple. 4 -1/8" holes and make the dam thing square. he would rather pay a machine shop XXX amount of $$ to mass cutl them than he take time out of his day to do it. so yes, to anwser your question, a machine shop will drill a hole in a peice of CF if you need them to. or at least thats how he does it.

A machine shop can drill holes in CF and do some cutting I guess, but the general shape, if more complex than a fairly flat panel needs to be made from a mold.

Anyway, that's a pretty nifty cover for people that re-locate their decks. I don't have a civic, but idunno if I'd rock it if I had one. Nice work regardless.

I wouldn't pay much for that thing. If it was molded a little to turn the gauges to the driver, then it would be worth something.

A flat biepe of CF is pretty basic. I should start cranking these out man.

Was that center console for a 1990-1993 celica? Looks exactly like mine

I just used a piece of plexiglass for mine. I cut it to size, drilled some holes for my gauges, and painted about 3 coats of black on the back side. That way it's black, glossy, doesn't scratch the paint off, and holds two gauges. Cost me about 1.50 at work. Works well

yeah it is basic, didn't say it wasn't, but i do have 'plans' in mind to somehow make the gauges face the driver.
