Dashboard restoration
I have been trying to buy a nice dashboard for my S13 for a month now with no luck I'm wondering if anyone knows of a company that restores them at a reasonable rate

the dash cover i believe is fiberglass. my buddy ordered one for $130, and it had some fitment issues.
personally, id remove all the old material myself, and have someone vinyl wrap it

Coverlay dash cover is ABS plastic, not fiberglass.
you could always cover the cracks by stickerbombing your dash like all the cool kids do these days looks great! other popular options in the 240 world today: or just use "because racecar" as an excuse to remove it all together.

Just because something is expensive, doesnt mean you have to hate on it
While it would be nice if the price was cheaper, I dont see too many other companies out there who are willing to strip down, refurbish, and then vacuum bond a new vinyl skin onto a dash. The fact that these people exist and specialize in this work is very cool. |

You're both on crack. If you owned a old ass ferrari or something special along the lines then it would make sense. Its a 240 for crying out loud. You could spend that 1600 on a decent set of coilovers.
Try doing this instead http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/rep...cked-dash.html |

Something that old from the OEM and it's on back order... simply means it will never be available again. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi0zbqNau-4 Seems like they justify their prices, could you do a better job than them? If yes I can understand your statement, if not you should take your own advice. |

I have the Coverlay and it looks good on initial test fit. I will be using it and I am very picky about my interior. 99% of people will never notice it. $120 plus free shipping from JC Whitney is hard to beat.

Was browsing around ebay the other day and came across this. Great option for RHD guys. It's pre-stitched and ready to stretch and glue. Comes in a bunch of different stitch colors as well.

Big company - 290,000 eBay sales! We should all email them to see if they can make LHD. I'd buy that in a second.

That's badass dude. The only thing I don't really like is the stitching across the dash and by the cluster. Other than that it's gorgeous.

Great option but how it really fit and how long it last?
Will that leather stretch with humid weather and then shrink like crazy when you drive out of the garage next day in dry, hot and sunny day? Does anybody have experience with that company and stretching leather on dashboard? |
