Can you make a piece out of carbon fiber to fit the cluster of a 94 camaro ???
I would like 1 hole in the middle for a tach,2 holes on each side of that for gauges,and make some small holes at the top for turn signal / high beam indicators.

Maybe just a carbon dash pad, not the whole dash. (the piece everyone breaks when puling the dash!)

maybe start making stuff for thirdgens? Id like a splitter or a rear valence as i have center exhaust on the iroc. Lots of other stuff that you offer for 4th gens could be modified for thirds... just a thought.

Unfortunately I never saw a good way to mount a splitter on a third gen that wouldn't put too much stress on the bumper...

x2, whether it's Carbon fiber, fiberglass, or ABS. Possibly something that's less likely to crack in the future?

My stock '95 one is in about 10 pieces right Now

I wouldn't mind seeing a sunoco style hood like the one on your camaro made for 93-97 firebirds. RAM air hoods just don't do it for me and the market is lacking a nice bolt on cowl hood for these cars.

Hmmm... I might have an idea but i gotta get back under the car and see, its currently getting the engine bay painted. So you would possibly do one if it could be done? If you could make one I would be willing to shell out $$$ to buy it and figure out how to engineer it on my car and then tell you the details once I figured something out. LOL

*EDIT*
I knew of 1 car that had done it. Maybe adding something like the braces on this one? A thought...

For engine bay dress up without having to put a lot of covers and chrome stuff in there... what would be cool is a means of having parts coated and cured in liquid glass. It would be prohibitively expensive for a single person to do it, but a business that takes objects to be coated and does it for a fee could stand to make a decent amount of money (like places that anodize or electroplate). Liquid glass has many many awesome benefits and would retain stock look (although would be very clean) and should be easy to apply on your end.

things that would be cool to get done would be any sort of resevoir containers, hoses, caps, covers. cleaning everything then would be as easy as cleaning glass...cuz that's essentially what you'd be doing.

edit: only reason why we can't do this ourselves is that it's not for sale in spray can form yet in the US. very few places seem to have it in use at the moment.

i think you should make a replacement fiberglass dash pad. one with, and one without the defrost vent for those of us with street cars, and of the drag racers without hvac assemblys.
