Default Show us your flocked dashboards

As title, looking for a few ideas on what parts of the dash people flock and which bits you leave as plastic.

I don't mind it, in all honesty a Corsa dash reflects the sun badly which is a PITA, the flocking stops that which is good enough for me !

If not let me know Il see if he can make something up to suit yours.

Hey up Jonny,

here are a few custom track racers we have done which may be more suitable for you application.













These dashboards were all created by ourlseves from standard dashboards using both epoxy and polyester adhesives where required.

Hope this helps give you some inspiration, the last few pics are my fav, especially the boost controller housing, this was for a 500bhp civic.

Too many ideas !

I do need to find a home for 2 52mm gauges ( boost and AFR ), the owner wants to retain the heaters etc so I can't slap a CF panel in there, possibly considering finding a mount that can go in the middle of the top of the dashboard where some Corsas usually have a clock and the lcd panel for the radio as they could live there.

The Race Technology dash needs mounting somehow, I need to get the dash from my unit and see what fits where as its been 6 months since I took it to bits and I can't exactly remember how it all went back together off the top of my head.

Great pics though, will be in touch as soon as I've worked this out and cut the dash to fit round the cage.

Funny enough Jonny we are doing a dash for a a customer who has a fast road impreza, we are housing a 1 off custom tripple mount above the heater vents on the top of the dash angled towards thr driver. It has a small comissioning plate underneath to service/install the gauges but it does not foul on the existing vent ducts so they retain fully functional. I shall take a few pics in a bit if you want mate?

I picked the dash up earlier and it would definitely require some sort of pod making as the lcd panel I mentioned joins to the centre console.

I'll get you a pic of the dash and what I ideally want doing, some pics of the scoob dash would help as well !

Thanks Raj

Jonny I think im going to copy that idea, either having the afr and boost gauges in the centre where the clocks go or have my avcr in there...........
