Leather dash

I want to change my 355 dash color from black to tan to match the rest of the interior. After seeing this on a 360 i really like the look without the black.

Anyone know who could accomplish this and make it match. should they be doing anything specific, as in types of leather, any specific sources they should use to ensure a match.

Stan,

If I remember back a few weeks there was a thread that talked about (doing this on your own... But I think they mentioned where they got the hides - which could be a source for your...) Here is the link (and some references to other links...)

Hope that helps,

dont do it!!!! the tan not only gets very dirty, it causes horrible glare from the sun!!!

 

While we are on the topic of leather dashes, what do you guys do to keep your dash from shrinking?

PBRacer.....

Hopefully you have driven a car or two in both the day and at night with a light colored dash......I know it look fabulous.......but when I sold new Porsches that were ordered like this, they all came with a liability waiver from the factory that had to be signed, for the very reasons scycle2020 points out.

It will drive you crazy more than likely.

 

Exactly why carbon fiber doesn't get used in the upward facing surfaces of many exotic dashboards either, and why race cars have aluminum dashes painted or covered with non reflective stuff. Blinding yourself with your dash es no muy bueno.

 

Keep your dash conditioned and use either a dash cover or sun shield when left in the sun.

 

The black dash is to avoid any reflection on to the windscreen. It's not a good idea to chnage that.

 

Thanks for the input folks, hadn't thought about the glare issue. Always helps to ask.
