An Evo dash in suede? You trying to pimp out a race car????????????? I got the RALLIART Carbon Fiber cover on mine. What happens when you get tired of the suede and pull it off? You now have a junked-out piece... How about painting it instead??

Suede can be done to look good and you get the stitching right.. Ex. exotic car interiors..

the reason he most likely wants a suede dash is for race use purposes.... the sun won't reflect a glare off the plastic dash, and he wanted help not s@#t talk form people that have no help to give. I'm also intrested in this too.

WHAHHH!!!!!!!!! theres a ralliart carbon overlay for our dash???? WTF would the point in that be? that would have more glare than the stock dash...... so your giving me **** about "pimping a racecar" but you recomend painting it instead of wrapping it? do you have any takata green i can borrow? i would love to do a neon camouflage theme to my "race car"
