Anyone tried this?

I have been kicking around the idea of of some custom dash work ... specifically a carbon fiber overlay on the original 64 Polara bezels.

I came across this site and was just wondering if anyone had tried this what the results were ...

I haven't tried this company specifically but I have seen this process applied on an Air Cleaner and something else under the hood to look like Carbon Fiber and it was pretty impressive. The owner seemed very satisfied with the results.

I just bought some carbon fiber overlay last week & put it on a custom dash panel for my 70 Bee. They offered several different styles. Black,white,yellow, but I went with a stainless look. Il post a pic when I get a chance. Im satisfied with it and its actually a vinyl overlay that will not fade over time. I first built my panel out of aluminum & polished it, but over time without a coating of some kind it will haze over & need re-polishing.

That looks good, can you provide a look at the back, I'd like to see how the little lights work, are they warning lights or something else?

Wow that looks awesome! Did you lay that right over the top of the original panel?

That really does look nice. I called the guy and talked to him about the process and he wasn't to thrilled about the ribs on the original bezels. He has never done one but is willing to do a sample for me. I think I'll take my radio delete plate to him and see how it comes out.
