antigram Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi all, does anyone know if ep racing still has the carbon dash trim for the supra? I came across this old thread and i saw a nice carbon dash trim set. Here are the pictures: even though it is a stick on kit, i really like the looks of it. But I cant seem to find it anymore on the web site or ebay. Now i looked a bit further and i found this kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-INTERIOR-CARBON-FIBER-ALUMINUM-DASH-TRIM-KIT-1999-2000-2001-2002-/221569412879?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ASupra&hash=item339690ef0f But that just doesnt look as good as the other kit, first up the top trim piece is not there which kinda breaks the line and if you look at the other pictures it just looks like hydrodipped plastic rather than actual carbon fiber and that just looks cheap to me. So, does anyone know another company that sells the carbon dash trim setup or if epracing still sells them. I mailed them but no one replied. Cheers!

johnd-mkiv Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Have a look into hydro dipping just had mine done in carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 It looks like the epracing one is skinned, rather than a stick in cover. Carbon skinning is the only way to get the real carbon look on parts like dash trims. But, as John says, hydrodipping can look really good if done well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antigram Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 do you have pictures of good looking hydro dipped dashes? I've seen some things hydrodipped but they always looked pretty crappy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zaheer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ep gets it from China.know because i am in contact with the factory directly.it is carbon layer over fibreglass .the cost from China is 475usd. I wanted to order but seems expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherjohn Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Definitely get it Carbon Skinned / Dipped, I had one of the stick on sets from about 9 years ago and they eventually start lifting and basically look naff, follow the advice of these guys above.

jackso11 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 We do Hydrodipping at Autodoc (Registered trader, links in my signature) I keep meaning to post some pictures so will attach a couple to this. Just a few of the shapes we use to display at work. I have a dash set here that I will be doing in the next couple of days too if anyone is interested, exchange basis. Loads of different prints, matt or shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
