My 1997 C4 Cab is the same blue and I would like to dye the dash and upper portion of the door panels black. Can you share some details of how you did it. Are they leather or leatherette, does it matter.
Three spoke wheels are a real bonus as far as hand position.

Most parts are vinyl in my 993. The dye works on vinyl, leather and leatherette.
Purchase black dye, paint brush and foam rollers and warn the wife that you wont be seeing her for a while. That steering wheel looks so out of place! You need to get to work. Oh and be prepared to dye all your parts and change carpet as you will want everything black. I knew I was in deep when the wife caught me twisted in a pretzel rolling dye on the headliner.

I did a color change on my mid night blue interior using Surflex too. Very easy and has held up well. I even did the steering wheel in the photo.

I think they are talking about Dallas Custom Steering Wheel
If you do a search, you will find more info.

Congrats! It was worth the wait. The interior looks incredible in the photos. How does the dyed leather/vinyl look & feel in person? Did Don do the Recaro seat inserts too? I have to say that the painted roll-bar is something that I regret not doing... not sure if it would work though in polar silver. See you at Pocono (three weeks and counting)
