Default My custom cf gauge cluster......

UPDATE ON PAGE 2

well here's what i came up with..... i don't have a blower motor/heater core and this is not my daily so.....

Started like this....


Laid some CF over it....


And got this....





Basically done, just need to clean it up after it dries.

Doesn't look to sturdy, but its alot sturdier than i expected.

I put a few screws to hold it in place but you cant see um!




Liquid Nails extra duty construction 4x strength stuff. Just to make sure!



CF o CF how i love thou

ya i tried that but i put screws in the corners to hold it in place and i wanted to cover them. there tiny but they show if there is less in the corners, and i didnt want to leave it all fat in the corners and all skinny for the rest. I will probable redo it if i cant clean it up as well as i want to.

Looks like carbon fiber tape, and those lights are ugly as hell.

I don't know if you could of found an uglier light.

Yes it is a slab of CF .2mm thick stuck onto plaxi glass. I like the lights, i need to see them lite before i complete the install. If they look bad, i will put te switches there. This is what it looks like with the switched in instead.
