It’s actually pretty nice. Just haven’t cleaned it up after the install.

Re: Carbon Fiber Dash Project

Overlaying. Haven’t explored fabrication with carbon fiber yet. Will happen someday though, since my next home built CPU will be made from this.
Re: Carbon Fiber Dash Project
Update!
No, it’s not perfect.
Yes, I’m proud of and happy with it. Learned a ton.
Soon to follow: center console (I have to widen the cupholders anyway for non-dollhouse sized drink containers) and the one gray piece behind the shifter.

Re: Carbon Fiber Dash Project
Doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you're satisfied with it.
Surprised you didn't grab some of those panels from the junkyard (they might even give you broken ones) for practice. I certainly saw enough of them scattered around while I was at a local yard.
