MCR 85 928

I am getting my dash recovered in vinyl. What kind of prices have you guys paid for this service??
Trying to figure out the ongoing damage to my bank account.

Thanks!

Send it to Just Dashes and let them keep it original. Much better option than another layer of material on top of the dash. My 5c based on experience.

Here's their link, looks really good:

Talk to @Rob Edwards before diving into Just Dashes. They can do good work, just depends on the overall goal of the car. I was pretty sold on the idea of using them for my 78 until talking to Rob and a few other folks.

Here's a good thread on the subject:

@olmann took over Paul Champaign's operation and does incredible work. This is the current direction I'm going with the dash / center console etc.. for my 78.

I talked to Rob at Frenzy and I got the impression that the guy who took over his business was slammed. Has anyone dealt with him recently?

I think it's safe to say any upholstery shop that's worth a damn (and Classic 9 Leather is definitely at the top of that list) is slammed right now. Every restoration shop I deal with has a year + backlog and every one of those vehicles needs interior work.

The Classic 9 leather or vinyl cover is another great option. Especially for the DIY'er who wants to install it themselves. Which I'm probably going to do with my 80:

Slightly off topic, but the dash on my Cayenne is lifting in multiple places. I think removal would relatively straightforward, but then the question becomes do I send it to one of these spots for leather, or swap in a nice vinyl dash for likely less cost? The vinyl Cayenne dashes never have any issues, but I'm not sure that was even an option on my Turbo. If it were a 928 I'd stay original to the car, but I'm not so sure it matters as much on a Cayenne.

The pictures look nice. I'd be reluctant to try to install it myself though, and then I read this:

"Porsche 928 Dashboard Cover for us to professionally install in our shop, or your local upholsterer to install."

Since I don't have that skillset, let the local professionals do their thing, while I work on something else.

Here's the quote and timeframe for my 90 S4 dash in black:Our current lead time is approximately 4-5 months from the time we receive your parts.

Here is an approximate cost of your restoration: $1,800 Main Dash (no two-tone coloring) Black

Unless you really really really want that leather look, I'd have no issues with a vinyl dash in a Cayenne.

Rod @Classic 9 leather is excellent (per my highly regarded Alfa restorer), he is also doing Alfa Romeo upholstery, there is a good possibility he'll be doing my GTV interior.

We can do them in vinyl or leather. Vinyl is $900 installed and the leather is $1100 installed. The vinyl is sewn up the same as the leather. That includes removing any bad vinyl, repairing cracks and covering the dash with a 1mm closed cell foam prior to cover installation. The end result gives a nice factory fresh finish without being too puffy and eliminating cracks showing up in the future.

Beautiful!

Very impressive, wow!

is it possible to do just the dash and not the console or glove box door in vinyl?
will it look different, or be a different height?
