Default Fiberglass / Carbon Fiber Dash Questions...

Ok, first of all does anyone know if carbon fiber is flexible or moldable in any form that a shop could get it? Secondlly, does a carbon fiber dash or fiberglass dash put your car automatically in a pro class ? If anyone knows the answer to this, please let me know.

Thanks,

Sean C.

carbon fiber is actually fabric per asy before you gel coat it and set it , you can mold it around anything if you knwo what your doing . my friend made dashes for a few people here. you can see the one from CVDRGRCER or whatever his name is a few posts below his is for sale. but he has made Chris Rados Body. Vinny Tens new mody work on the supra, Marcos Acostas new truck for next year and a bunch of other stuff.

That's awesome, do you know if having just the carbon fiber/Fiberglass dash puts you in the pro class though...? Thanks for your input itr206...

Well, right now I am only putting down 250 to the wheels, turbocharged on a pretty good tune, on pump gas, with full exhaust, with cat, you get the picture... But there is something very big coming in the future with my car and I think it will be very, well... Very good!!! Thanks for the input guys.
