Fiberglass Dash Cover? March 08, 2006, 10:10:39 PM My car like many others suffers from the infamous cracked dash syndrome. It has a dash cover on it, but it is over 5 years old and showing signs of age. I was thinking, would it be possible to lay fiberglass overtop of the dash? Would there be any way to texture the surface once your done? I don't know much about glassing but I know several people on this board do (at least when it comes to hoods and body panels). Would that idea be feasible? Quote Selected
Fiberglass Dash Cover? Reply #1 – March 10, 2006, 12:12:13 AM Is it a cloth overlay or a vinal dash top? I think those are your only options. If you try to glass it I don't think you could make it look like the factory dash. Besides the glass would probably crack and not stick to the dash very well. Quote Selected

I know some people try to build entire dashboards out of fiberglass for custom car audio. That's kind of where I got the idea, just not as drastic. As for it looking stock, I'm not too concerned with that. I figured go for something a little different, but try not to stand out too much or look rice. Quote Selected
