Default Leather Dash Cover Group Buy Pictures

For those of you that may not have followed the other thread on Dash Cover Options I said I would check into doing another group buy for leather dash, console, glove box and A pillar covers if there's 10-15 people interested.

I have to check on the cost of the Porsche leather hides and the guy that does the leather work.

The cost back in 04 was

335 Dash cover
220 Console cover
70 A Pillar covers (GTS style with sewn double seam)
40 Glove box

I don't know yet if we can get the same prices.

Colors other than black or brown require will require 3 orders for at least the dash cover. In other words, if you need blue, hopefully 2 other folk will order the same color blue.

So far I've heard from 3 people.

PM me if you are sure you'll get in on the buy at or near the above prices. I'll post on my findings, price, and availability within a couple days.

We haven't been able to come up with a quality leather pod cover. It requires a skive that will split a piece of leather large enough to cover the pod.
I gave up on it a while back, but I'll check into it again.

I just went to my local shop for price quotes and he basically indicated that they could not warranty work for a molded dash... the solution is to do it myself. I am VERY interested, but would need a pod cover too.

For those of you considering. Do it, you won't be disapointed. I got my brown leather dash from Rob last go around and it was a perfect match and the quality is as stated.

Don't pass up this oportunity or you'll kick yourself.

I saw the results of this and it was good.

I don't need a dash, but down the road I'd like to switch to leather. Damn

Greetings Old One ... and The New Number Two, perhaps?

Long Time, No See, so to speak, you see.

So, you wish to switch to leather, eh? An Interesting choice, leather.

I Am Being Called Now ... must go ...

May Your Probes All Be Itch-free and Transmitting Well.

I just bought a plastic one, but I would like to be notified for an ugly brown color or I can go with black even. It is for a white colored 87 auto.
