Has anyone used "Just Dashes" to recover a dash pad? If so, can you provide an opinion. Quality of work and match of material to stock.
Has anyone used anyone else? |

 Sure,the production tooling of the method Porsche used back then was state of the art. The puffiness you refer to is the perception of the part's radii. The tool used was chemically etched with acid to remove material from the mold surface. Likely a silkscreen technique rather than a photographic method. Anyone with automotive trim experience would know that. It is a very nice result and the ashtray delete option is convenient. Again,labour intensive. |

Or the puffiness is from the 1/8" layer of foam they(just dashes) use to cover the dash under the vinyl. Not stock, so it looks different. The rest I have no idea what you're talking about. |
