Leather Dash / Seat ReTrim

[Noz]

Hi all, seen some pretty epic car's re-trimmed and wanted some advice.

 

Ibrar's is probably one of my favoured interiors. I like the `OEM but modified` style, not really sure if I want to do the dash or just the seats at the moment.

 

My seats are recaro speeds, faded with suede. So looking for a change, plus the dash has lifted and I really need to re-paint my triple pillar pod, so was thinking just to do them all.

 

The request is really on colour, do colour leather dashes really look as bad in my head as I think they do? My car is black, I'm just worried making it all black will be too much, and any colour in my mind doesn't seem right.

 

Ideas welcome!

Im also looking at interior retrim options for my build.

 

I think IMO the dash always has to be black, i think any other colour is a bit in your face although it can look great sometimes.

 

The dash etc are very hard pieces to do, make sure you see examples from which ever company you choose, i'd hate to see wrinkles and stretch areas in something i'd just paid a lot of cash for.

 

I'd ideally be doing the same, Roofliner, Seats and perhaps the dash in future. Don't forget once you start doing the dash and A pillars, you'd have to do the rest otherwise just stopping at the A pillars could look silly?

 

Red seats always look great in a black car. Marc on here has one, the super low car with red leather interior, can't remember the username perhaps MarcAb10 or somthing

Yeah I know his motor. The seats do look nice. And show off their colour.

 

I've a candy red half cage so need to make sure that doesn't clash.

 

Thank your right though. Dash has to be black.
