ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

as i was looking through the ccj forum... i came to some very interesting reply on
http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=4865

about the suede dash... i was really interested in those as well since right now i am flat broke after my trip to hk, after reading all those comment i started digging into how to put fabric onto the dash without screwing up the airbag when u actually need them... then adrian came and told me about "flocking"... something that i have no idea about it at first... started to dig into that, than realised flocking is the solution...

now...after doing some research into this... found a few great pictures that i would like to share...





i am realli thinking about doing these but it would almost mean i can't drive the car for a week since thats how long the flocked fabric will be cured...

what does everyone thinks about this...

ps. i will be doing mine in black

I'd be keen on this but I'd imagine it would cost a fair bit..

depending on what tools u use... range from 40us ( with mini flocker) up to 1000us with eletric tools... but 40us is enough... just the fabric, 3m spray, sand paper and a bottle to spray the fabric...

Not bad not bad, I've had a bit of a look into it and theres a place here in WA that will do it for ~$150ish which i'm considering..

I might go in there and ask em or maybe call 'em and find out more info

WA... too far for me in sydney... don't think too many ppl do them... am still looking for more options...

Try do a few google searches, theres bound to be other people in other car clubs that have had it done and those topics could say which place did it, that's how I found the WA one

lol found one in nz... one in melb... not sydney

Ahh damn

Hmm, perhaps try concord customs a club sponsor, they might be able to do it, or possibly recommend somewhere that can do it as they'd know more about this sort of stuff

hmm good idea... but somehow i want to try this out myself... lol dont have that much money to pay someone else to do it... rofl

yeah I know what you mean, I shouldn't be spending any more money on my car but....it's so addicting!!

i know exactly what u mean... thats y i want to try this myself... 100 bucks for a new looking dash and after that... if it works... i will continu to play around with it... already thinking about inside the glove box... center concole... man... soooo many things to flock... haha

I reckon, I'd probably start off with doing the A/B/C pillars Black to go with the blue suede roof and trial that.. make sure it doesn't come apart or make a mess or look cheap/nasty and if it's all good then I can extend it to the whole front dash and console... possibly even doors!


The only thing left to replace after that would be seats/carpet

haha... i will need to start it off some where small and closed most of the time so that if it doesn't look good i don't have to replace it... thinking about the glove box first

Go to the wreckers and buy some interior parts. No matter what car it's from, and just practice. Buy 12 or more parts, cost you $40 but saves you $100s if it means you won't screw up your Lancer dash because you practiced.

all the tool is is a highvoltage static charger, builds up a static charge on the applied surface to make the fibers stand on end. otherwise it would just be a flat fibrous material, rather then the true look of that specific fiber you apply (outwards)

atleast the ones i looked at where that
