Default Original Carbon Fiber dashboard for race car.

Hey gang,

I thought some of you would like to see the new CF dash I had molded for the Beast. It will fit a C5 as well with some slight adjustments. The flash from the camera makes it look brighter than it really is, it's a great looking piece. It has a nice consistency not being too flimsy, very light and very durable.

Looks nice Mike. What do you mean 30 days? You need to move south. I will have run VIR at least twice in that time

Looks fantastic, Mike! Reminds me of the CF dashboard in the Stevenson GXPR now running in Rolex GrandAm series.

Not pouring salt in the wound...you need it too much for the roads and your track. I would hate to waste the salt on a wound.

See you in june/july if not sooner.

Thanks Mike, it was really great talking with you today, I very much appreciate spending your time with me.

I really really want one of those dashes but just cannot for now, maybe in the late fall or early winter, unless I break the car badly that is!!

Great work as always. I know you are not done yet but pad the knee bar! I am limping right now because of that.

Thanks,

There is still a driver underside tray to be installed. Once everything is in place there will be a check for spots that need the FIA padding.

I appreciate the observation!
