It will be much better if you include the full effects (like a suede/flocked dash).

But it looks like a clean job from what I see, so nice job :)

They are beads that were given to me by a Budhist monk.

I'm not too big of a suede fan, however I think suede feels awesome on the steering wheel.

I like the armrest, not really liking the radio area. How much did it run you?

Nice now do the whole dash and you'll have a perfect interior for racing without a glare. ;) I like it.

im guessing you just get a sheet of the material you want, cut it and use glue?

I did it myself with a friend that was able to get me a large sheet of suede and the glue to do it with. This little project is just the begining. I will also be inserting suede above the blue suede on the doors, and creating a suede shift boot with red stitching matching the stock steering wheel on the sti and e-brake lever. The headliner is also getting its share. I will post again the next time I get more suede. Oh yeah the suede feels like money, just like the sti seats. :disco:

Didn't know budhist monks were into the freaky stuff...

Sorry, I couldn't resist :D

I think if you do the bottom half of the dash (the glove box and area under the steering wheel) it will pull it together. Right now the console sticks out / looks odd, but I like the workmanship.

EDIT: Just noticed you did the glove box. Wonder how it would look if you painted the latch the same color as the AC controls.

Looks great on the armrest - looks like you did an excellent job installing it everywhere! The center console looks odd... not bad, just different.

Nice, I was going to order new center dash panels to paint black, but now that I see this I want to cover them with black leather.

:\ I'd say that EvilSTi knows. :p

I like it, don't know if I would ever do it, but it IS different and that in itself is cool.
