  • Help Please! I want to customize my dash!

    I want to give my dash and very sleek, crisp, and new age look. I have this ugly textured soft stuff on my dash. Does anyone know how I can get it off so my dash is just plastic?

    Would that be "Flocking" head gun and paint scraper could do it. I'm sure there are others out there that would know the best way.... Post up a photo or 2 so we have a better idea of what it is!

        That is just the material that the dash is done in. Nothing different. Pretty sure it is just plastic. i'm not the authority on dashes but have a look around. If you can't find it here, or on vortex you won't find it lol.

          You can take that layer off, and there is smooth plastic underneath along with sound deadening gunk, but you have to think hard because you'd be losing a couple of cm of layering so it's going to mean things like your air con vents will exceed the boundary of the dash...might look silly, and remember the airbag is covered in that stuff to... and never mess with the bag. Might be better off finding a thin covering to put over it.

                  A LHD dash isnt going to be of much use over here...

                    A LHD dash will be really useful for him though!
