vinyl or replacement ? - cf parts for the LB dashboard

[ASHRAF]

hello every1

not so long ago I found a picture somewhere in the net that shows a cf parts in the dash (I think it is from blog site that one of YW users posts in)

please tell me any thing you know about this stuff

my car is a RHD so should have the exact same dash as the vitz

where can I get it from, prices, everything

I'm waiting

My mum got the Vinyl Wood for the Camry, and looks great. But I reckon if you get it sprayed it would look much better.

there's this company in Sydney, www.aquadip.com.au , they quoted $600 to do the whole dash for my mum's Camry (that was 2 years ago, i'll contact them, see how much it costs to do the yaris).

I reckon since you have a black Yaris, do CF or Marble black would look really nice!

there is one small problem ... I live in Perth :D

but yeah if I can do a good job there for less $$$

I may ship my car to Sydney in December and I'll be there for a while so I might do it by then

Thanks for the info

BTW, after 2 years, how is ur mum's dashboard?

that is a fake CF looking pattern, not all that great looking compared to the real thing... IF you can wait, I have found a company here that advertises full, real CF (or wood) replacement of these parts. But it's pricey, over US$600 for the complete set... I just don't have the time to check them out at the moment, but will do later.

I can wait of course

whenever u r ready mate :D

I'll do some research and will see if I can find something that looks good, doesn't have to be real CF

she didn't do it from aqua dip, instead we got her the stick on version from Toyota. got it for $20 (from toyota they're $100+ )

this is what it look like now...

I'll consider painting the hood (not the stock one), eyelids, mirror covers, and maybe the door pillars CF

and do the interior in CF or marble black

will think about and see how much will it cost

they have carbon fiber paint....

[ASHRAF]

dunno yet

best way is ... ask (maybe)

I don't know if there is a way to paint something to look like CF, but everything is possible nowadays

[ASHRAF]

I don't think it's a simple painting process,

if this can be done in painting, it's ganna b such a hard process

I thought it may be done as an airbrush carbon fiber looking or something

I don't have any idea but as leasaunce said you can get it sprayed, I asumed it can be sprayed using estencil or something (did I spell estencil right?)

I don't have any idea about this thing, that's why I'm asking

here in Canada, you can get it as a kit from the dealership. Check out Toyota.ca for pricing!!

thanks for the info

lucky bastards, ur steering wheels is in the left side, miss that here in Australia, errr

any kits in Japan? ,,, sure but how can I find out?

[uncleyaris]

I don't think the side you drive would affect the Kit sold in Canada.
