s13 dash/ need info

[zoototheyork]

i want to cover it, + door panels. got a estimate from a local place, 600! just to cover the dash? (out of car already) not includeing materials ha ha ha.
any ways where can I find a write up or some info on the basics of this??
thank youuuu.

There are plenty of write ups on how to fiberglass it or cover it with vinyl from home depot (similar process). Just use the search button, I know its not the most accurate but if you look long enough you will find it.

600 just for labor? you would be such a dumb ass to pay that. i did mine with the dash in the car and it took maybe 3 hours. wrap it your self its not hard. just make sure you use lots of glue and stretch the fabric.

DIY! s13 is by far one of the easiest considering its flat single surface design. get a fat sheet of what ever fabric and just use fabric glue and a razor. I did it to a spare dash a while back. came out good but it faded.

$8 worth of permanent fabric glue, black suede $20 a yard (3 yards) and 1 1/2 hours of meticulousness= That
not counting the gorilla fur on the panels and love box, lol.

that is exactly what im talking about. that dash reminds me of my old one. have you had any problems with fading? I dyed it back black once but the suede texture didnt stay the same.

Thank you! All I can say is take your time, It looks good, but it could have looked better. If I were to do it again I would have it sewed to the contours instead. I'll post pics of a contour sewn suede fc dash when I finish it.

the suede thing is the shit. id like 2 do sumthing like that when my dash cracks. maybe chinchilla? haha

Good work, but suede gets collects dirt and gets dirty quickly.

Quality custom fabrication work can go much higher than that. S13 owners are cheap and broke.
