dash surround in suede
I've seen a lot where people have painted the radio and hvac surround but has anyone tried wrapping it in a fabric like suede or something? My interior is all black and thought a dark gray suede would look really nice. If anyone has done anything like this I would like to know how and see any pictures of it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I too have seen pics posted with the interior pieces wrapped in leather/suede. Not a look I care for, but they did appear to be nicely done.

I did mine in suede recently...My black 04 coupe...I dont have pics of it though...Might be able to get some. I did this myself but I did have exp doing this to other cars so I wouldnt recommend doing it yourself. I used a lighter color grey which matched the seats....You in a nutshell have to pop the whole front out (dash)...then simply cut and form the fabric into the outlets it surrounds. Again not something id say a novice could do...possible I suppose but good luck....Looks great in the car!!!
