Neat CF gauge panel

So I have been tinkering with my 944 race car project for a number of years now. I wanted to add some gauges to the stock dash so I made a few carbon fiber panels. My dad wanted the same thing so I upgraded my design and improved it.

For the original one you could drop it in from the front without removing the bezel. This latest version is glued together and has a more finished look and is more rigid.

I just wanted to show off some of what I've been working on and see what you all think. Hopefully my dad doesn't get bored and browse the forum, that way it will be a surprise when he gets it!

i love working with CF flat media it's easy to shape into what you want. I'm working on a new dash for my 924 in CF. Still in "frankenstein ugly mode" right now since it isn't sanded and cleared and all the edges trimmed up ... but... fun to work with!

Looks good man! I would post pictures but i don't want to thread jack.

Good job!

Nah, go for it! Its a good project idea thread when you have different peoples work. I haven't really been posting much in the last few years so I figured that I would add some updates.

If you insist. Again,it's rough, not sanded and quite finished yet...

here is a pillar I made, going to house gauges or use it for covered switches, still determining. (not sanded or cleared or trimmed yet)


And here's the dash.
