yeah hate the cheap look. Not to mention the warping factory airbag covers lol.


OP it looks good! Should look even better once it gets out in the sun a couple of times and pulls tight. (my families mr2 had redone leather seats and a couple of heat cycles and it looked perfect!)

Thanks. I've got an extra set of door panels, fixed the infamous cracks and pulled both of them apart already. I even have all the materials. I just need to get around to it. I've been busy wrapping other interior pieces.

I didn't find anything. As you know the ***** are rubbery. I sprayed them with Duplicolor flat black vinyl dye and they are very durable. It comes off the white part pretty easy. The headlight switch is super simple to pull apart. I sprayed the dimmer control with a satin black. The small silver mark is part of a pinstripe cut and placed real well. The fog light switch is a very basic switch from Autozone.

My steering wheel controls aren't grey. They are glossy silver and they have no lettering. I tried the black look and it looked like complete ****. The silver matches my gauges and my switches on the doors.

Here you can see that and my grey dimmer control/stock fog light switch.

That's what I'm thinking. I have a 30th TA with white leather. Do I do charcoal with blue stitching, white leather with blue stitching or alcantara with blue.. I'm leaning towards the alcantara.

Nice! I like that. How hard was the install?

What are you planning on for the center stack, passenger side, A pillars, etc? Or is Redline doing something for those too?

I would think that leather wrapped A pillars would be a bit much however. Gotta break it up a bit but not sure with what.

Thought you might've got the dimmer switch from a Camaro. Been thinking about going that route but if it's easy to take a part, I might just paint it too. I plasti-dipped my ***** and they look great and have held up well so far.

I like the bezel wrap, but It's a bit too much for me. Just makes the dash look cheaper than it already does compared to the 'new' wrap.

Not hard IMO. It would be without that baller *** glue. I wouldn't know how to do it any other way. I started off at the stitching around the bezel, then did the top, the bottom and wrapped it all around. I'm eventually going to have the dash covered and stitched locally. Everything else I'm wrapping myself that doesn't require stitching. I'm sure Redline would make anything you send them. I'll leave that to others though.

Just pull out that whole assembly and the dimmer control is just clipped in place. It has a heatsink on it that has 2 small metal retainers that slide off. Once thats off, the scroll thing just comes right off. It might sound confusing, but it's incredibly easy when you see it.

Updated some links to other mods I've done in the first post AND the gauge bezel is FOR SALE!

I'm going to have one made by Redline out of a different material and I'm planning on sending them my door armrests to have those wrapped and stitched. It'll look great!
