Water transfer ...>
Anyone heard of this before? I get this e-mail from a guy who does "water transfer". It's will apply any texture(ie wood or carbon fiber) to what seems like any car part. Might be something worth looking into. Instead of having 3m tape installed for your dash kits, just send them the parts to get the design of your choice added? I'll have to get more information.

I think people are doing this process on their interior dash and panels. The Modern Image Eclipse has something like that. The company that did that car is called Wet Works. It looks like a wet piece of vinyl/rubber. Always glossy and shiny.

So the idea is you get a carbon-fiber look without it being a raised surface? Well, if it is priced competitively with existing dash kits I guess it would make sense. Durability would be an issue also I suppose, as was mentioned.

Water transfers are the same as the >>
decals used in Monogram, Tamiya and UT plastic model kits. There's an adhesive that is activiated by water, and while the decal is still moist, it can moved around. If they can simulate aluminum, it would look really nice.

Besides, if you had one of the existing stick-on dash kits, you wouldn't take this off before you sold the car, would you?
