Default Alcantara dash?
I've got a pod setting in my closet in black Alcantara, and have been planning on doing the dash as well, but don't have a dash that needs it yet. Anybody have a dash in Alcantara? How do you like it?

I do but it's still in my closet. Looks beautiful. Can't wait until I get it in there!

I think a leather dash would be more suitable, but just my opinion. The leather/alcantara combo would complement each other well (I think).

The way Bob Budd is laying it down it a really nice aggregate of the two.

Post up some pics, Fraggle!

Here's a few I've done with only part Alcantara. I just finished a brown one & will post a pic soon.

Nice Rob. I assume you have to do the A-pillar covers to match the top of the dash (if that is the only Alcantara), and the armrests, console and glovebox if all of the dash is Alcantara?

Hey that looks REALLY familiar! Top quality Rob! Don't forget the beautful pod!

I've got one more drive weekend and the car goes down for AC and interior work.

The A Pillars can be done in all Alcantara or only the front half to match how the dash is done.
Yes. If the whole dash is done in Alcantara, everything else can be done the same.

Yes. I believe the top one is your dash.
Thanks very much for your support.
Don't forget to send me the glove box lid to redo. when you get started.

And this is the matching pod

That looks really nice, and I am guessing even nicer in the car.

I'll box up the glovebox and send it your way but I'll need an address. PM sent!
