Here are some pics of one of our members' dash.

We see pics of the interior of this car on occasion, but not this detailed.

Pictures weren't done loading yet, but could you have been any closer to it. I could see the atomic structure of leather in these pics

You know Mike, if you had waited 15 seconds for the pictures to load you'd notice they aren't all close.

I can appreciate the close-ups; they really show off the high quality craftsmanship. Couldn't have been inexpensive but definitely beautiful work!

Whoa! that looked reallllllly nice! I have wondered about doing something with the cracked dashboard and really hate the plastic slip on...its like putting condom on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

The work looked superb and I assumed its leather, huh? hope you wudn't mind my asking for the cost and time involved of having it done? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

again, it looked real good!

It looks very nice.

But not nice enough to stop me from taking a cheap shot (out of jealousy).

Dust on the steering column. -3 concours points.

Gorgeous (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) That puts a 911-variant with "full leather" option to shame.

I personally would've gone with a black steering wheel, but it's not my car, so hey.

Thanks Lawrence. I have a fast 'puter with good bandwidth, but I still think it's "nice" (to the dialup guys) to post a smaller pic or thumbnail with a way to optionally link to the fullsize version.

It might actually not be that hard to write code for the BBS to provide an option to automatically thumb/reduce pics upon uploading or linking. That would be cool.

Awsome! Now I have dash envy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I'm thinking of doing the red car with maroon and white leather for dash, backpad & seats. I better start saving my pennies.

Fantastic job!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Didn't the 916 have a dash like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif)
Cheers, Elliot

That's a racing tach there, bud. "I can rev my engine much higher now. The tach goes to ten grand!"

He is missing the screw on bezel for the ignition. The material just "ends" there.. it should have a black bezel around it.

I told you I was sick.

Thanks. Those pics are great. This is just why I love this board.

I have discussed with one leather guy here about covering my dash. I have to show him these pics. I am sure they will help him a lot. Many thanks again.

one thing i think looks so cheesy on our cars is the dash face, the embossed vinyl. has anyone ever made up thin gauge metal pieces that you could paint to match your car's color?

Kevin,

I'd be all over that too...a Ravenna green dash face would be fun...since my car is very much not original it could look cool.

Oh yeah, the leather dash is a neat touch...I'm sure it was a ton of work.
