i will attempting a fiberglass dash kit for the 2000+ i30/i35s if it comes out good i will make a mold and make a few kits so that you guys can get it...ill probably be offering it as the following:
1.plastic look
2.primered (if you have your own paint)

if enough of you guys are interested itll start at 100 - 150 shipped depending on what finish you want.

 

Sounds like a good deal. Keep me posted.

 

I'd like a real wood dask kit. But would love to see some pics of your fiberglass one when comlete.

 

ill be starting the project in about a month because of school and stuff, but i wont sell it unless it comes out perfect!!! i might be making prefabricated fiberglass boxes also but who knows lol

 

i just had a fiber glass kit made for my I30. don't know if there is a mold left over but I am picking up the car tonight and i will make sure and check.....don't know if that will help or not??

 

Possibly interested. Would depend on when and if it's done. I have a friend glassing one for me at the moment in his spare time. So it all depends.

 

if they have the mold left that be awesome so i wont have to guestimate the whole thing, post some pictures of your kit and how much did you have to pay?

 

hey i30boogie have any pictures of your kit?

 

ahh.... still can't see the picture man. what are you talking about? how's the design?

 

I will try and take some tonight. I have to take the car back in so that they can "clean up" a few spots here and there and get a little better fit on one side...but all things considered it looks pretty good. They actually used my old Bose HU to make a mold...I will call and ask today if they still have it.

And the cost they quoted was $250 but I didn't have to pay it since it was an insurance job (my car was broken into 2 weeks ago).

 

So, can someone tell me how you go about working with fiberglass? Where can people get the materials, what do you need and is it easy to work with? I am just curious, I'm not trying to take any business from you lol I would love to try working with fiberglass sometime and see if I can make some new things for my car.

This sounds neat!

 

fiberglass parts can be bought online or easiest way is a boat supply store in your neighborhood, since boats are made of fiberglass (personal use) yahct, sail boats etc...

working with fiberglass is fairly simple if you have the time and patients, and the will to accept to redo it if you mess it up. fiberglass fumes are very hazardous so if you do any kind of glassing in your car, dont drive for a couple days(leaving windows open). also fiberglassing is very messy since you are dealing with resin, just like arts and craft class! haha well something like that. and foremost if you have a creative mind you can pull off amazing stuff with fiberglass
