Leather wrapped dash?
Leather wrapped dash?
All the whining from just about all the car mags is about the crappy interior. Anyone tried to do a serious dash over-haul? Anyone tried a full dash leather wrap? Something like you can get on the corvette or some other nicer cars? I think it would look amazing, it wouldn't be easy, but would look phenomenal...

I don't think that applying the leather would be difficult, but making it look good and professional could be tricky. I'm a perfectionist and I do not want anything cheesy looking inside my car. I think I'm going to buy an extra dash and work on this for a while...
lol my mom used to be a seamstress, so she's got a bunch of sewing machines and such and will give me a hand applying the stitched look to make it look right. Looking for an extra dash at the moment... this could be a one-of-a-kind project
Hardest part I think your going to run into is that the corvettes dash has the engraved part where the leather stops. Our's doesn't, so you would have to do a really good job on the ends in order to make it not look tacky.
