Bigfoot Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Interesting look.But I always thought they called if "carbon-fiber." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You need these for your engine compartment now. If you're interested just contribute $50 to the ACE Operating Fund and they're yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstrutt Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 They would be a nice touch if the interior matches and you did more of that sort of thing. But the RED doesn't get touched! Yes Karen I mean you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torchredfrc Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 I like the carbon fiber FRC's but I'm pretty partial to the ones I've got installed right now:It is "carbon-fiber" but it's a painted on "carbon-fiber" and not real carbon fiber. Here are some details on the process used to paint these:http://www.vetteessentials.com/tecstar/carbonfiber.htmThe pieces I purchased were from mrm1149 on Corvette Forum and from Stuart at OEMDash.com. I think I have just under $1,000 in all the pieces. It took me about 3 hours to get it all installed but I've taken apart the dash a few times so I've got some experience doing it. This was a simple install and the results are stunning in my opinion.If anyone decides they want to do this and would like some help, I'm always up for a mod party!Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that sig on them in the corner by the firewall? Totally sweet man. The sig is from the artist who did the paint. His forum name on Corvette Forum is Chevy Chad. I don't believe he is still in the FRC painting business though unfortunately. He does excellent work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he can do several finishes (including wood grain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
