+1 on the dash project. I hope that it all works out, as it would be a huge enhancement to the car's interior look. Keep us updated!

Good quality for the price, I had the console cover and e-brake boot in black leather on my V6 and they were very nice touches. My one request would be to design the console lid cover to be thicker, maybe another 1/4 inch of a denser foam, memory maybe. Keep up the great work!!

thanks. we really dwell on thoughts that people have. we might take a look at going 1/2" on the top section. not sure about memory and the leather, but it will be a couple topics we can think about

Yeah, best luck with the dash. I've looked at mine dozens of times in regards to covering and totally understand the vent issue on the end. Always though the only way to really get it to work would be billet plates that go over the top of the current ones that would allow the leather cover to be sandwiched between the dash and the billet plate.

ya, without pulling the dash, wrapping the frt edge and that 1" on the underside and at the top rear where it goes smooth are a couple other issues, but we keep thinking of ideas. covers for the vents would be a good idea but theres a big cost factor. one day it might all come together, but ya, tough idea

I would buy a vent cover to go with it, even from another vendor.

hey nice to see you out there, sorry i couldnt stick around longer but had to work early sat so i had to leave. if i wouldnt have missed the tree and redlighted you would have killed me anyway missing 2nd or not. after my 3rd run i got to my normal 14.7 and took off (was hoping i might beat my best time) but its always fun, cool checking out your car, very nice.

thanks, havent done a alcan/leather cover in white. did do a black alcan in white though and a shift boot, looked pretty good. one thing we noticed with the colored thread though is it kinda sinks into the alcantara more than the leather so it doesnt look as sharp on both materials. you can notice it here on this alcantara. the black sitiching seems to work the best, but these parts look great no matter what.
