goldponcho Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'd still be in for at least one, to cover the cracked wagon dash. May even throw one in the sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm in for sure too if your trying to get some numbers in line This is an exciting piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 We should probably get a list going so Matt can see you many he would need to get... 1. MattyXXL in for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldponcho Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Goldponcho in for 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icerockt Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Starting a list would be great. I am waiting for another quote locally. Also would you guys be fine with this being just the lexan part itself (painted SEM Black) and sourcing the 3m tape or plastic weld epoxy yourself? It is possible to install this with the dash in the car, and using 3m tape should make it even easier. Everyone is fine with the "R" logo I'm assuming?

People are going to want to attach the piece using their own methods, so I'd leave out any adhesives/tape. What do you think about having these made out of aluminum? Also, approx. how thick is the piece? 1. MattyXXL - 3 2. Goldponcho - 2 3. gmsgltr - 2 4. Kevin - 2 5. Oreo931 - 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruecatinat Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 1. MattyXXL - 3 2. Goldponcho - 2 3. gmsgltr - 2 4. Kevin - 2 5. Oreo931 - 2 6. ruecatinat -1 This is a fantastic idea - I cracked the stuff out of this portion of my dash removing my cluster last year, this would look 10000x better!

This works well because the edge is mostly hidden behind the dash pad. I wouldn't want a 5' long aluminum part attached to my dashboard with double-sided tape in a crash. If I had the know how I'd look into carbon first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasamin Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 1. MattyXXL - 3 2. Goldponcho - 2 3. gmsgltr - 2 4. Kevin - 2 5. Oreo931 - 2 6. ruecatinat -1 7. prasamin - 1 I'd rather not have the "R" logo, but if that's all that you have, no issues. I might just fill it and paint over it if I really don't like it.

Good point about accidents -- didn't consider that. If you use carbon fiber it's going to increase the cost substantially (unless you buy the materials and make the pieces yourself). Regardless, if you're not careful about the type/brand of resin used there's a chance it will yellow over time from all of the sun exposure.

prasamin Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I don't see carbon being very practical from a cost and fabrication standpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
