how did you do that? Pretty hot

 

thanks man. its only about $10-$15 worth of materials.
fiberglass resin
fiberglass cloth
sandpaper
primer
paint

I still have to do some finishing touches, final sand, primer, paint, and drill some holes.

I hope to be done today. This is only my 2nd fiberglass project and im pretty damn happy with the results so far. I just hope the flat black/clear coat looks okay

 

Cool dude. I wish I had the time to learn how to build stuff like that.

BTW... This should probably be in the S13 section rather than Off Topic. I'll get someone to move it for ya.

 

not the best pic, came out a little glossier than i would have liked
(looks worse than it is because of the flash)

 

Very nice! I think that it looks a lil glossy too. Have u put it on yet? If not slap primer over it again and go get a flat black.

I say it again...."Very Nice!"

 

Good idea,
I'd lay off the clear coat there buddy. I mean I did it on my center and i honestly don't like it anymore. The shine makes it looks nasty unless the paint is perfect. I even wet sanded up to 600 then rubbing compound. still didn't make it look too good. I recommend just going with flat paint. Clear coats will attract lots of dust ;0

 

hey! that looks pretty spiffy! make me one

 

i think the flash made it look way more bling bling than it actually is. I hooked up a wiring harness to it, so it not a pain to remove it if i have to. went over it with some fine steel wool and it looks better now. its in the car too. i'll get pics later

just a tip, you should have wet sand up to 2000 to make it look awesome.

Boosted F22 - if it is still too glossy, spray it with a matt clear coat.

 

looks great, post some pics of it in the car!

^ i have to admit that in this pic i thought it looked a little weird because of the filled in vents,
but in this pic, it looks awesome.

great job.

also, i know the url's are being showed, i just didn't want to take up more bandwidth than i had to.

 

Thats pretty good idea.... the whole gloss thing tho... need i say anythin?

you should do a tech write-up on it...

 

oops, forgot sumthin....

what did you/are you going to do about the A/C ducts that you removed the vents for....?

 

I lightly scrubbed the surface with steel wool and it toned it down a lot, the flash of the camera made it look super-glossy. its really not THAT glossy

I covered up the AC vents with bubble wrap and zip-ties. Kinda lame, but it works fine. I got the gauges hooked up. im so pissed that one is a Phantom series and the other is ultra-lite

Here's a pic of the wiring harness i made for it. Its very easy to take in-and out, besides the fact that you have to drop the steering column

I got the wires from a JDM h22 harness that i didnt need. Id take some in-car pics but its raining like a muthabish right now.

 

before you put the two gauges, you had a square hole there correct? How did you cover them? What did you use to make the new holes for the two new gauges?

I used fiberglass. it wasnt that hard, but it took about 8 hours in all plus drying time for resin, primer, and paint


here are some pics in the car. it was dark outside

 

Damn man, nice garbage can, want me to come detail your interior? I feel sorry for thath thing... JFWY, I love that idea, I'm thinking about trying to do the same thing to mine since I've got tons of fiberglass stuff in the garage. My firend does custom carbon fiber parts, I wonder how hard ot would be to wrap that whole dash peice... Hmm... thanks for the idea!!!:thumbsup

yeah, its a pig stye. i might get some more and fix them and sell them. im going to the junkyard again soon but there is only 1 or 2 240's

the entire interior of my car is shot, so i dont feel bad leaving greasy parts and trash in it. it smells like crap too one day it'll be nice

 

is that a boost contoller on your dash? If it is, Did you install it or did you have it professionally done? If you did it yourself, can you give me instructions on how to do it? thanx

there are no sensors required. i put it in there just for the hell of it. i am getting an SR.

i dont mean any offense but the fact that you have an SR coming, and you have an SAFC but you have no idea what it does is kinda messed up dood

I installed it in about 30 minutes and it didnt cost anything
