Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

Well I've had this CF plate for a while and have been wanting to make some type of something to hold gauges, so today I made this. Mugger fits sungg. O0

I'm thinking about making a couple to sell, only have enough material at the moment for less than a handful. Plus it's too damn much work. I don't use no fancy tools and I sand the edges by hand.

So I would like some input on this:

I'm thinking 2 cutouts for gauges is perfect agree?

Would 3 cutouts be overkill and make it too clutered?

How much would you guys pay for something like this blank? With gauge cutouts?

Here are some pics. I digs it, too bad I don't have a crx (that's a crx console in the pics) no more :'( , but that don't stop me from gathering stuff for the future one ^-^

I need some bobooobs

did you make that while sitting on the shitter? of all places, you took the picture in the bathroom. :-X



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?

Re: Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

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.

Re: Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

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.

Re: Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

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

Re: Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

best light source in the house and it is still crappy. :-\


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. ;)I'll pm you in a few ;)

Re: Custom Carbon Fiber Radio delete or Gauge Pod, madd CF jDM sicC!
 

i would like some flat CF panels for guages. dont worry about drilling holes, i can do that myself, but i need the piec to fill the spot. i need one piece for a crx radio spot and another peice to fit where the heater controls would be (i took mine out). let me know what you can do and/or what kind of price im looking at, located in baltimore, zip 21220
