Are there UV inhibitors in the binder?
If so I would not paint it, if not maybe use a UV inhibitor clear Poly.

Looks nice up


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The dash is made here locally buy a company called Unlimited fiberglass.. the cost I'm not sure whistling you might have to call them to find out yes it is a direct replacement for the entire Dash..

Unpainted I don't think it helps the story of "it's just a old Dodge with a truck motor, that weighs about 3100lbs"

That's Nice looking

It would be cool if the vendors start modifying their molds so Racepaks or the new Holley Pro Dash will bolt on. Here is a picture of the new Pro Dash compared to a stock A body cluster. I can't quite tell from your picture if the Pro Dash would fit on the carbon dash or not. If it didn't fit it wouldn't take much reshaping for the vendor to get it to fit. If I was making glass parts that is how I'd sell stuff but could just be me.

That's a beauty. I don't know if I could paint over it, myself.

Wow .... how this market has changed ! .... and the desire for that carbon fiber look! And people used to beat me up on a 20$ price difference on my hood with custom bracing !! I even went so far as aluminum and MAG tubing .... now that was extra !

Almost TWICE THE MONEY than a regular FG dash and not that much of a weight savings. There was a biz OVER THERE that was EXCLUSIVELY in the CF biz and I had a chat or two with him about that market.

He said .... CF is to guys ... what diamonds are to chicks ! ..

GOOD for UNLIMITED PRODUCTS if they can capitalize on that !!!
