Carbon Fiber inserts on the cheap.

Well after looking at the Aftermarket Inserts, I figured I'd try something out.  I found a roll of CF Decal for 13 bucks at PEP BOYS.  A 6" x 6' roll was enough to do the Door Inserts and the Console with a bit left over.

Matches my Gunslinger Shifter Handle pretty good.  I'll put them on in the spring.  I got these parts from 1badcuda a little while ago.  The woodgrain needed to be replaced anyways.
Figured I could order some repro woodgrain later if I got tired of the look.

Do you have a close up pic, It's hard to see the detail.  What did you do to get it on?

Thx

[422STROKER]

I have this pic too.  It is basically a Decal, it came with a squeegy.  They go on pretty easy.  i jut used a sharp razor to trim the decal to fit.  Hardest part was getting the old woodgrain off.  The little bumps are the holes from where the Tri-star will go.

Hey that looks nice!  I'll have to swing by Pep Boys to give it a look.

Thx

   Make sure you lay out the Decals before you cut them, I almost made a Boo-Boo but I just made it.

That is a very cool idea.     Too bad my Pep Boys just closed for good.

I was going to do the exact same thing... you beat me to it! Looks great!

I didnt even think about going to PEP Boys. I havent been able to find any CF to match the Gunslinger handle... so great job!

Thanks EvilTwinATX.

White gauges or something like that has a set to sell, but the sell the whole thing(guages and doors and console) for like 120 bucks.  I didn't have that kind of coin for something I might not like.LOL

Make sure to get some    once you install it.

That looks awsome Tom,I might have to look into that for my Black Cuda?My 69's isn't stock either,I made the inserts out of real wood and stained and polyurethened them.

[422STROKER]

Clown, Now that looks like it was a bit of work!  That looks awesome.  What would have been there originally?  My 69 was a Column shift.

Tom

Thanks BTW

[moparclown]

The 69 was originally a bench seat column shift car also
