Factory-Finish Integration for Custom Dashboards
Achieving a seamless, “OEM-plus” look in a custom race car or restomod is one of the hardest challenges for a builder. The iC-7 Moulded Panel Mount is the professional solution to this problem. Designed to house the Haltech iC-7 Display Dash, this large-format panel (250mm x 500mm / 10″ x 20″) allows you to replace a section of your factory dashboard or create a completely new instrument binnacle with a perfectly fitted, recessed mount for your digital display. Gone are the days of hacking apart factory plastic or leaving raw edges on carbon fiber sheets. This moulded panel provides a contoured, textured surround that integrates the flat screen of the iC-7 into the 3D curves of a vehicle interior, protecting the screen and enhancing the cockpit’s aesthetic.
Engineering Deep-Dive: Material Science & Fabrication
This panel is manufactured from high-grade, UV Stabilised ABS Plastic. This material choice is critical for automotive interiors, as it must withstand the extreme heat cycles of a closed cabin in summer (often exceeding 60°C/140°F) without warping, cracking, or off-gassing. The UV stabilization ensures that the black finish does not turn grey or chalky after prolonged exposure to sunlight. The panel is moulded with a consistent textured finish that mimics the grain found on many high-end dashboard trims, allowing it to blend in visually. Structurally, the ABS is tough enough to support the weight of the dash and resist vibration, yet soft enough to be cut and trimmed by the installer to fit the specific contours of their vehicle’s dash pad or center console.
Operational Benefits: Customization and Protection
The large 10″ x 20″ surface area gives the fabricator immense freedom. It is large enough to cover the void left by a factory instrument cluster in most cars, from a Nissan S-chassis to a classic Mustang. Once the iC-7 is mounted within this panel, it is recessed slightly, which offers physical protection for the screen edges and reduces glare from side windows. This recessed mounting also hides the wiring and mounting hardware completely, resulting in a clean, tamper-proof installation that looks like it came from the factory floor.
Fitment and Compatibility
Dash Compatibility: Specifically moulded to fit the Haltech iC-7 Display Dash.
Vehicle Compatibility: Universal. This is a fabrication part intended to be cut, trimmed, and shaped to fit your specific dashboard opening.
