I do not recommend the suede material from Jo anns since it does fade if you leave your car in the sun after a while. I used the same material on my door panels and glove box and it has turned slightly purple-ish. It did work great for the headliner though.

or just pull the vents and light and latches off and pocket them. anything you can hide on your person is free. junkyard law.

some more pics I found of my hatch dash

S14_Kouki · 08-19-2009, 11:19 AM

There are no dashes/good parts cars anywhere in or around the tampa bay area atleast for s14's different areas have different finds I guess

DreamN · 08-19-2009, 01:12 PM

There are some yards that are incredibly cheap, but odds in finding a nice condition one in Cali are slim. $25 would be the norm, but doesn't matter if it's clean or not. Price is set already.

s0fa king · 08-22-2009, 11:53 AM

take lots of pics during the operation & install!

S14_Kouki · 08-25-2009, 03:27 PM

^ lmfao ^

So r there any finished pics of the dash??

PoorMans180SX · 08-25-2009, 07:46 PM

Yeah, I would be gettin some kind of padding and recovering that. Seems like no padding would feel weird too.

i think neoprene would be a good replacement for the pancake stuff.
im trying to get a spare dash to do this too.. im either gonna fiberglass it or wrap it in a faux suade. kinda leaning more towards fiberglass cuz the suade shit fades

S14_Kouki · 08-26-2009, 01:44 PM

Iv seen may fiberglass dashes. I personaly dont like them I would rather go for the sueda. Just use one of those fold out windsheld blocker things

blueshark123 · 08-26-2009, 02:18 PM

I want to resuede my 240z dash soon after it has a cage cause to find a mint dash for this car ur lookin at spending over 500 easily.
