Has anyone out there use Just Dashes to restore your 928 dash? They are expensive and I am curious as to whether or not they are worth it.
Thanks

The issue I have seen in other threads is that Just Dashes has mixed results and zero customer service regarding whether you like said results or not.

OTOH I don't know of anybody else that puts on a new molded vinyl cover, everybody else repairs the old vinyl or puts leather etc. over it.

One of the locals here had his dash done, and it looked as if someone had inflated it. It was "bigger" in all areas, and the pod rubbed against it. He had it swapped with a brand new Porsche dash, which looked much nicer.

After seeing Pauls work, I couldn't install one of these... not sure if this guy is still in business, but I have one of his units that I never installed.

I was planning on taking it to Hell to see if it would sell.

Compared to the other two suppliers there work sucks!
I thought my GTS leather pod (Just Dashes) was good until I saw one by Paul Champagne.

I had them rebuild/recover the dash, center console and door panels on my 1985 944. I thought they did a spectacular job and so do many of my car enthusiast friends. Maybe I got lucky. Maybe not. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again for vinyl covered pieces.

Thanks!
