Hey all,
Anyone who saw my car at the MWC knows my dash needs some help. I'm going to eliminate the radio and glove box because i love the nice clean look of the dash face. I don't really like the original basket weave too much. Other options i've considered are: brushed aluminum/stainless, aluminum painted gloss black (my gauge panel is already matched to the body color) and carbon fiber. Anyway, the reason i'm posting is i had a bit of an epiphany tonight. I really dig the vintage race look and what defines that more in 914's than the GT's? The GT's had felt on the dash with no lower dash pad. I had considered this but thought it was a little too bare bones for a street car. How do you think a felt dash face would look with a lower dash pad? I thought I could even incorporate a felt "strip" on the door panels that was inline with the dash face. Has anybody done this or seen a car that had this. I'm just after your opinions whether they're (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) or (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) David |
