Default Pix of some dash work shipping out today

These are going out to a couple 911 owners today. One is velvet red which was a special order in 87 I think. We had it duplicated at the tannery. I'm doing all the interior panels and seats in this color.
The black one is Alcantara.
I added a French seam as an accent on the leather door trim . Its going with the black Alcantara.

Excellent workmanship. How much do your charge per dash?

Nice work,..is your pricing on your web site? What determines if the dash is beyond reusable? And what would the items be that would preclude using the same (original) dash to recover?

I need to get this work done, as the unsightly dash is the first thing I see upon entry...can't afford an original replacement @ ~1700....(GEEEEZE).

Thanks!!

Thanks very much!

Yes. Pricing is on the web site. Many dashes can be repaired.
Cracks are usually no problem but warping can render a dash unusable if its real bad. Many of the original factory leather dashes have been warped beyond repair.
Dashes can be recovered in vinyl, leather or Alcantara for $550, $650 and $750 respectively.

Rob:

I've admired your work in the 928 arena for some time. My question: can you cover a 930S wheel with Alcantara? I drove a new GT3RS with one, and can't get it outta my head...

Thanks Rob. I was just looking at your site and saw that. I sent you an email from the website inquiring about something I saw there...

Thanks!
