Custom Fiberglass Dashboard

[Jlivan]

My husband is looking to fiberglass his whole dashboard. I found a couple of sites that have a pre-made fiberglass dashboard...but I am a little worried that it will not fit. Is there any sites that sell Hyundai fiberglass dashboards? He has a 2000 Hyundai Accent. The only pic I could find that would explain what I am talking about is shown below. Please let me know if you have any ideas:)

He tried to fiberglass the dashboard himself but it did not turn out the way he wanted. I think it had a lot to do w/the paint he bought. Anyways, i just wanted to pass this by you guys to see what I he should do....is it better just to take it to a professional? :confused:

that dash is unreal....oh my God!!!

[Keyan]

That dash is so beautiful I almost cried!

[watson80]

i would hate to hear how much that would cost!

[Guess]

he owns the shop so I don't think cost was a huge issue for him lol.

[tharptroy]

lol, am I the only one who thinks that looks like ***? a shop will charge you a ****load to do a custom dash, whats wrong with the stocker?

[SuperGLS]

I don't think the Elantra's dash needs to be drastically changed to look good, just some minor changes can make it look really nice.

lol, am I the only one who thinks that looks like ***?

I think so. It looks good because that is the look the owner was going for. Would I want to drive around in it? Probably not, but it doesn't look bad for what it is trying to be.

[Guess]

Well its a show car and has won at damn near every show its been in so weather you feel it looks like *** or not it still catchs folks eyes . oh well . I also think you could have worded that a whole heck of alot better to but hey who am I to judge.

Another wonderful comment christ you guys are getting to be unreal. So sorry that we are so above every other car that we are going to pick out something and make comments about it its stupied **** like this that makes me question leaving the site. I posted the pics to help Jlivan you want to make a comment that has to do with something other then the fiberglass do it in another post. Because seriously I don't think you should talk unless you have put even half the time and money in to your own car that he has. And yes guys I'm goin to take it personal cuz the car happens to belong to a very good friend of mine so you want to flame take it else where.

dude, i love that guys rsx interior...

but i dont understand why anyone would put that much time into it and then put a ghetto *** foam wheel cover on their steering wheel.

i would suggest a beautiful wheelskinz cover to truly finalize the interior.

[Jlivan]

Thanks for the advice.....yeah, it's probably better that someone professional have it done since he messed it up the first time. Hate to waste all that money on his car and not on my elantra ;)

I actuallly think that car looks pretty cool, that sort of thing should be done only when your in competition.....going to work and things it's not really necessary.


......and i totally agree will you SuperGLS, I would of left it the way it originally was. Since he messed up the his original dash there is no way of going back to stock....unless...we can get a stock dashboard.....I guess will have to take a trip to the junk yard.

[Guess]
