I've noticed a few pics with members rides that had their dash's covered in leather. i really like the mod and think the biggest downfall of the F-body is the "cheap looking" interior. does anyone know the cost of having this done and any reccomendations of a good upholstry shop in the Gulf South region that can do it for a reasonable price?

From what I have heard its hard to keep the fabric stuck down once the heat gets to it. But I have seen where someone was going to use DAP brand contact cement or something. Honestly this is simple enough to do yourself

Make sure that where you have it done isn't limited by environmental laws. They won't be able to use proper adhesive. I had mine done in Utah so I didn't have to deal with California adhesives. Your upholsterer will know.

If done right, it can look like this ($1150 plus material on this one)...

Very Nice! is that suede? I seriously doubt with all the refineries and chemical plants in my home state that polluting from adhesive would be much of a concern..

Nice! I don't know what that is.. I'll have to Google it. Has any one out there Hydrdipped their dash pad? I was thinking of doing this , not only for the adde style and look but possibly to add strength and UV protection..
