its almost from the same material as the orginal, if you wouldnt be 1m from my car with your dashboard you would say "holly sh... its original " . There is only 1 guy in Poland who is able to make such regeneration of the dashboard to Porsche cars.

Costs in total(for shipment also) - 200$

PS: i still have bannana on my face (almost 24h from installing it back ).

yea but you dont have any guarantee how strong was the glue which was used for re-conditioning your dash,i know already that the one which was used to redone mine is v.strong coz i personally know 2 ppl who were driving cars in very hot summer days with those dashes and nothing...material is still on its place and doesnt want to go off.

I'm not concerned about the quality of my work - the guy who did mine specialises in restoring old car interiors from the brink of disaster! I've seen plenty of his other work and it's top quality. Here's mine before:




And after!



Good luck with yours! Can't wait to see some pics of it all complete!


Cheers,

agreed... it was a momo corse iirc.

Doesn't make the car look too modern from inside, just a nice and clean wheel.
