Im considering a company that can make my dash panels for me out of Carbon Fiber. I have two questions though.

1.) is .015" thick enough to support monster gauges? or is that to flimsy?

2.) Will i be able to cut a hole for the gauges using a hole saw still?? or is it too tough?

My carbon fiber dash panel is .125 or so.

I would think .015 is a little on the thin side.

A hole saw should be able to cut the panel no problem, I was fortunate enough to get mine cut with a water jet.

I cut my carbon fiber eng. scoops with a fine jig saw and hole saws, I ran the hole saw in rev. for a sec. to not fra or chip the surface . I then file fit finishing with meg. plastic polish

.015" isn't a panel, it's an overlay. I'd think you'd want to be a bit thicker than that.

So the overlay would need to be attached to a metal surface?

an overlay just goes over another surface (doesnt really matter what)... sounds like you want/need an actual panel, 1/8 should work.

carbon cuts and works with normal tools.

I just had panels made by Innotech Products and Steve was great to work with. Told me I could cut/work the final panels with normal tools but it wasn't needed.......and that thickness better be an overlay, my panels are over 1/8 thick and strong as chit!!
