Alcantara Dash

Well, it's finally done. I finished reskinning my dash with Black Alcantara and WOW does it look amazing. I have some material left over so I'm going to do the A pillars, top windshield trim and air bag soon too. What do you think of the dash results?

thanks. Yeah. Lots of time and 3m 8088 spray adhesive. I bet I could probably do it in less than half the time now since I have all the things to do it with. But such is the case of all the mod we all do. It's been a lot fun and I love the results. I can see why many people like alcantara.

Very nice but more importantly kudos for taking the time to take the dash out. I know that can be labor intensive.
