Hey guys these are the best pictures I could get with the windshield and lighting.... So I was installing new 5 1/4 speakers in the front and when using the tool to remove some of the foam, it got away from me and put a nice mark in the dash :wallbang:.... Any ideas on how I might be able to cover it up?

Thanks......

Can't see it. The photos suck.

^^^LOL.

On your camera there should be a dial setting or a button somewhere with a little flower icon on it, that's your Macro setting...use it...lol.

not sure about your damage, but I have a dash in perfect condition sitting in my garage... someone PMed me about it a while ago but never got back to me... PM if you are interested...

 

[NateDgg27]

Well I tried to get them up before I had to leave for work..... I will try new pictures when I get home. :wallbang:

I just pulled the dash from my 05 Elise ('race car' build), if you want to buy it.

A 240 or 260 S should do it.

You could pull your entire dash out and have it covered in Alcantara?

Piece of duct tape(or black racers tape if you want to get fancy) and you're good to go!

Try Mother's Back to Black or a similar product on there first. It may darken it sufficiently...

It's an excuse to go CF.

Good luck.

You need to watch those car makeover shows.

they remove the entire dash, sand it down, and respray the surface... PITA

You should buy one of the other guys (I was the guy that never got back, sorry, I decided to get the ring spacers and put in the larger speakers)

Yeah i would say heres your options.

-Buy new factory dash replacement
-Buy cf dash replacement
-Cover in some material(alcantra)
-Sand and paint
-black duct tape

You can glue one of dancing hula dolls over it.

I've known a few car audio installers that could make things just like this a lot less noticeable. but its not easy. especially given the amount (or lack of) room in that area. My old roommate used to be a master @ repairing plastic panels. (they break a lot of them, so they either have to get a deep pocket, or learn to fix them.)

I was thinking of replacing the front speakers. Thanks to NateDgg27 for warning us to tape the area for protection against bumps such as those pictured.

Well I did try my best..... I was thinking of taking a small piece of metal, painting it and using that to cover it up, and of course doing the same thing on the other side..... Or half naked hula girl works but I'm sure would add way toooooooo much weight to the car......

How hard is it to pull the dash?

Not hard, but you'll need some more plastic tab things for the airbag cover. AFAIK they break when it is removed.
