I had an upholstery shop cut up an oem headliner and I asked them to wrap the tach area. Looks beautiful. Only $100 bucks in labor as well. In addition to this, they also did the two moldings on each side of the stereo.

Makes the car look MUCH better. I'll take better pictures tomorrow.

 

That really does look nice...looking forward to the next round of pictures.

 

which shop did you use? looks great!

 

Well that was a good idea.

 

Looks really good! I'm still looking for someone to be able to do that to replace my cracking CF upper windshield trim. Must be nice to live in CA with all these reputable shops around!

 

thats the easiest carbon to replace. did it myself in like 2 hours. i saw a diy somewhere.

the super abridged diy,

1. remove peices
2. seperate carbon from piece.
3. trace old carbon and cut new piece out of carbon veneer, i got mine from dragonplate.com
4. stick it all together and put back in car.

 

Lots of shops, but there are some that are not so reputable. No different than any where else.

BTW, awesome garage in your avatar.

 

I dropped off the car at the body shop as I know one of the reps and he had told me he works with an upholstery shop that does great work. I dropped of the car, and I guess he calls them over ? as my car had 0 miles added when I picked it up. I'll ask him for their contact information, if he can disclose it.


It's raining pretty bad so hard to take pictures from outside.

 

looks great !

 

I have been thinking of doing this myself. Nice work? Did you buy the alacantra material yourself or did they do it at the shop?

 

Just saw the second set of pictures. I really like this project, thanks for the idea. The lower pieces look pretty straightforward but I'm most impressed with the dash surround.

 

Dare I ask how much the OEM material cost you?

 

Looks great! I'd be interested in the reference too.

 

Neat!

 

Looks great I like the contrast between the dash & cluster!
