Leather dash
Anyone have any experience with these leather dash kits? I can't decide if it would look magnificent or awful. Don't think there will be a middle ground with it.

After looking at it, it should be straightforward to glue on with an industrial fabric/leather glue. Just the case of taking your time doing it.

Strange that they photographed it upside down - makes it look like it is for a left hooker.

I think I'll give it a miss for now but I have saved it so may go back later. I really can't decide if it's nice or not. Not many things split me this much. Sent from my M2007J3SG using Tapatalk |

I'm in the process of vinyl wrapping my dash at the moment, as I wanted to get rid of the HMS Invincible look of the cabin in my Zed.
If that's real leather, rather than 'pleather', I reckon it'd look good on a ZT. Price is more than double what I paid for the vinyl with the tools, and I can get rid of all the 'technical grey' as well with plenty left over. Horses for courses I guess.
