I've seen Wedges with carbon dash panels, are these available to buy anywhere or are they home made? Also are there any other carbon fibre items anyones seen advertised relevant to the Wedge or RV8?

Cheers, Al.

Hi Mate..I think they have been done by the owners as there are no pre-made as such..There are other options as discussed on here a little while ago..Hydrographics looks a good option...Ziga

Thanks Ziga, it's a possibility but I've never seen any other finishes than look like genuine carbon....
Some of the other ones look quite interesting tho...

Cheers, Al.

Slightly off subject but I have ordered a three piece dash panel for my 400SE in stainless steel. This guy is a metal worker and has access to a laser cuter and promised me he could make me an exact size. My car is black so I think stainless steel would look good. I should have it with me on Monday. I'll post pictures of it when I receive it, in case anyone else wants one.

I am hoping there won't be glare issues as the stainless steel I have chosen is one with a pattern in it rather than the normal stainless sheet. Also I think they do one that is mat brushed steel. I'll put on some pictures when I get them, though I have chosen patterned.
