Driver Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 So, I've got the carbon fiber dash shell, what's a good way to keep the sun from bouncing off of it? I've seen a felt-like covering on numerous professional cars, where can I find this? Many Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateApexEM2 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I know some people cover them with ultrasuede or alcantara, check online or at fabric shops. Its the same suede like stuff on some race steering wheels and seats for luxury cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 So wait, it's just some of that and some spray adhesive? That's simpler than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_tone Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't know how much this flocking stuff costs or performs, but I have used thick black felt (about $3.50/yd @ any fabric store) and 3M adhesive with fantastic results on several cars.

I don't know about the only color, but it served me well on the first track car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
