body and interior Leather Dash Skin on EBAY from the UK

[foreste2002]

I have been thinking about covering a 74 tii dash in black leather after looking for cracked dash options.

 I found today a vendor that seems to make very nice "skins" for our cars and several other vehicles....eBay item number:

351351222387  

 

Looks like the one listed is a right-hand drive

 

I will contact them about left hand drive and then I might order one!

 

P.S.

They said they make the left hand version as well.

 

Anybody tried one yet?

 

Thanks,

Eric

Never seen a kit like this. Did the seller have any pictures installed?

Yes....the quality of workmanship looks very nice.

That's an interesting option. I had mine vinyl covered a couple of years ago by Only02. It wasn't cheap, but I found it impossible to find an uncracked 2-piece dash, and Just Dashes was almost twice as much as vinyl covering. Mine was installed for me by the Only02, so don't know how hard that process is for a DIYer. I'd guess it's not a walk in the park, and you'd want to make sure you have a very good adhesive application as you don't want it delaminating when it gets warm. Let us know if you decide to pull the trigger.

fwiw...this is the only adhesive i would consider when installing something like that...it's made to withstand high heat, direct sunshine...it's used to apply vinyl tops

 

it seems that cover is for RHD cars...i didn't see reference to LHD's

Just uhh, turn it inside out and backwards... suede dash amirite?

Hey Esty, I thought you had a stitched dash cap on one of your cars (red?) any tips on installation as I am considering taking advantage of these ones since they are RHD.

[foreste2002]

When ordering...you just tell them you need right or LEFT hand drive.  They make both

Would love to hear someone's results with this.

 

FWIW, I bought an armrest cover for an E36 from the vendor a few years ago and the quality was excellent.

I have been studying the same product. I think there are some us versions on eBay too. I have an uncracked dash to install but since it is 40 years old I dread having it develop crevasses soon after installation. Any info on this product would be very welcome and gratefully received!!
