 |
|
being not as ambitious or industrious as kcoyle (nice job!) - I ordered and have received a plastic dash cap from Coverlay - it appears to fit, and the black color matches - but the texture is a bit different from the existing dash and the other areas below it (glove box, etc) - has anyone covered the dash cap with a vinyl that would better match the texture of the existing dash/surroundings? If so, can you provide the brand/detail for the replacement vinyl - and I'll cover the cap before installing it....thanks much RickJ

My local upholstery shop looked it up in a bunch of books till we found the right grain/pattern. It was in a european (MB/Porsche) book. He ordered it from CA.

Somewhere along the line I ended up with a plastic dashboard cover that I think matches the 924 grain pretty well. Just took a look at it and it's a "dashtop #1003." Did a google search and found this:
http://www.dashtop.com/products/dash-cover-1977-1988-porsche-924
Don't take my word for it and immediately order it though, let's see what others have to say
