I want to Fiberglass whole Interior...Please Read

[Brian]

Alright guys, I want to redo the entire interior. I see many interiors that are either fiberglassed and painted or or painted with acrylic paint from a store then clearcoated. The colors I want to use is black and the custom silver color of my car. I have access to a paint shop at a dealership my dad works at. What I want to know first off is there any places that sell fiberglass dashes for our cars, I know squidskins.com says they sell one for about $250 US dollars, does anyone know if that is a full replacement or what that is about. The next thing I want to know if there any places that sell fiberglass door inserts, they can be custom doors or the stock looks just fiberglassed. The rest of the interior is plastic which I can paint and clearcoat and it will have that fiberglassed look. The main thing im worried about is the dash and doors since that material is harder to paint and have it come out looking good. Please give me any sites you know about and also if anyone knows any nice places out in cali. or whatever that do fiberglassing of interior parts or custom stereo installs in fiberglass. Thanks please give me anything you got.

about your doors, i believe team prototype makes some tyte door panels, they look very nice on the 2gen cars. Im not sure if they are fiberglass though, i think they are. I was goin to make sure that was the right site, but right now they are upgrading there site. Well i hope that helps you out some.

Thats kinda cool, I dunno if I would put it in my car though. My new idea I think I wanna do is as follows. Either find a black dash from another eclipse or find another dash of any color and have a shop dye it black, cuz my dash is grey and kinda shitty condition. Then I have my pillars and rear seat window trim painted the silver of my car so I will just clearcoat those then and then get a fiberglass headliner and have that black and then the underside of the dash plastic pieces and center console pieces are silver so I will just clearcoat those and then paint the bottom half of the door that is plastic to a silver and clearcoat that as well. So it would be a black and silver theme through out the whole car and it would be a combo of some things liek the top half of of the dash and doors looking stock black but then having the pillars and headliner and lower door and dash pieces being painted silver and clearcoated. What do you think abotu that

hmmmm, that would look nice if done correctly. Yea i think you should stick with your idea . O and about the center console, there is a guy who is making custom fiber glass center consoles. Here was his finished product if you are interested.
