I was looking through pictures of sema...and I noticed the greddy evo with an alcantara dash...does anyon have more info on this car? or who did the dash or how or any input at all?

 

I've seen a few alcantra covered dashes at socalevo meets also. They look really nice.

But I would worry about how well the passenger side airbag would deploy with an addtl layer of material covering it.

Anyone know of a good place to buy alcantra (ultrasuede)? I really need to re-cover my doorpanel armrests.

SC~

 

how do they cover them? The greddy evo seems to not look puffy or any bit out of the ordinary tolerances....looks amazing....im considering this...but not sure...

 

Tis very expensive .

 

You're probably talking about the street concepts Evo.

 

I know you can buy alcantara from a Sparco distributor.

Part #MS065005NR, $169 PER METER. Im not sure howmany meter's youd need to do what you wanted but for a dash Id have to imagine at LEAST 4, especially since you shoud have it as few pieces/hems as possible.

Best of luck guys - Looks killer.

 

that is an awsome picture, the cameraman must be preety awsome too

 

stay away from that stuff.looks like a waste of money.

 

lol

 

i dunno, but from driving everywhere with the windows down my dash gets FILTHY in no time at all, I dont see how you could maintain something like that in a daily driver.

 

you will just need a vacume instead of a damp cloth

 

do they even teach you kids how to spell anymore in school

 

I believe it is glued down with a thin layer of contact cement made for upholstery.

 

Do you think that the dash and all the bits have to be removed in order to stick the alcantara on nicely? Id like to see it in my car as the plastics are horrible but I dont want them breaking stuff and making everything less sturdy by removing the dash... I already have enough squeaks and rattles as it is...

 

I've done a little bit of this kind of stuff back in the day ( not with leather / seude ) And you pretty much must disassemble all the pieces (if applicable) resurface etc and then put it all back together, if you want things to look good.
