Default Torch red dash installed.

I completed the dash installation, quick photos of it although I still need to toss in the Torch red floormats, but they are drying now.

I'll move on to the door panels next week.

I am stunned by the look...needless to say.

Looks great. Now...I only hope that that bright, enthusiastic, agressive color doesn't migrate from your eyes to the go pedal (at least when you're driving around town). "Cause if it does, we'll have to visit you at Angelina County's cross-bar hotel (hope they have internet). Don't think the vertical stripes would go well with your chevrons.

I already have a standing reservation with the County Jail, may even get one of those "Speed Passes" so I can just check myself in.

Don't know yet, but after driving to town with the sunshine so intense, I think I've burned out all of the red cells in my retina's. I'm red blind now.

Looks great from a distance...any problems you can share regarding application of the spray? I've wanted to do the Ferrari camel tan interior in mine for some time now...you've inspired me bigtime!

something like this....

Did you dye the dash or have it recovered?
