Icon14 carbon fiber question.....

hello ever1 i'm kinda new to this forum so my questions might sound kinda dumb but ive done plenty of upgrades to my 99 ford ranger and i wanted to change out the bezel on my dash around my stereo with carbon fiber mostly because i like the look and would go well with my black truck. anywho ive had huge troubles finding a kit, ive only found 1. http://www.hillbankmotorsports.com/p...ducts_id=10663
and even that wont work because i have a 4x4 so i need a bezel with a cutout for the 4x4 switch i was thinking of possibly ordering the 1 i posted but i dont wanna cut anything and f it up. so if any1 has any better ideas or a site or anything im open to all suggestions ,thanxs guys. i look forward to being a valued member of this forum!

This place has some stuff
http://www.hydro-dip.com/


Also some of the Mazda B-Series had the Carbon fiber trim stock.

Just some tips, this should go into the "Interior Forums" and also use the search its very helpful.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole post.

That's the only premolded kit that I've run across, It shouldn't be that hard to cut the hole. I have a hole saw the same circumference as the whole in the dash, I was gonna get it and see if I could get it to work but I think it would look kinda ricey

Just a thought but many customization places have carbon wrap, same as fiberglassing, its only like $30. If you have the time and skills to do so.

I swear Ive seen a Dual Sport 4x4 with the carbon fiber radio bezel.....lemme see if i can find something on the net.

EDIT:

Found something...

Cruising Cardomain......found a '07 4x4 Dual Sport w/ carbon fiber radio bezel. If I were you, i'd go check out the local mazda dealership or ford dealership....prices would likely be pretty steep, but you never know.

First pic I found.....bad one....but you can clearly see that the radio bezel is carbon fiber, AND has the 4x4 switch.
