Any interest in a DIY guide to wrapping your dash?
I wrapped the top of my dash/door panels, and was wondering if any of you people were interested in a DIY on how to do it...


If so, I would be happy to put a guide together!

That looks good, wish I could just pay you to do it.

Wonder how all the trim would look wrapped in suede.

I'm probably the only one but I don't like it. It kinda looks messy/dirty to me. Don't think I would be happy with people putting finger swipes all over it, either. I'd push my girl out the car is she ever did this. hehe

Let it go, you don't mind her foot prints on the headliner do you?

Just kidding,

I have a horse hair brush to groom all my alcaterra, works great.

DAYAMMMM that looks sick homey. Very nice work, and gives a whole new feel to the interior, literally

Now you gotta do the side pillars and head liner to match. Very, very nice. I've always have a soft spot for the suede/alacantra look.

Looks like it should have been a factory option. Your dash looks the AMG business,

YES SIR I WILL BE INTERESTED IN YOUR D.I.Y

Would need to know which Alcantara you using, as I'm based in South Africa.

I don't think he actually wrapped the dash with anything. I think he flocked it, in which case the airbag will still function as intended.

Perforated the material, and cut a channel in the foam backing. It is quite easy to tear the material with little force.
