The timing is unbelievable .. thank you

 

I wonder what they would charge if I shipped the upper dash to them.

 

I paid $2000 to a high end shop to recover the 360 top dash in Ferrari leather, bringing the dash to the shop. Based on the above posts of $5000 total, the removal and re installation labor would be worth about $3000. 15 hours at $200 per hour sounds reasonable. Of course prices may be different in different places.

I did removal/install myself, but as seen below it's quite a job, requires removal of side windows trim, which requires removal of the pieces around the roof, rear view mirror etc. And next it needs to all go back together.

I am just one step ahead of you. I now have the dash repositioned to bolt it back on and it is a big pain and not an easy thing to do if you do not remove the driver seat which like you, I did not do. Must use a mirror and light to get the upper dash bolts back in unless you are a tiny contortionist. I pulled the dash to get at a plugged-up A/C expansion valve and restretched and attached the front side of the dash while I had it off. My restretch of the pulled front vents worked well(Rizzo360 billet bolted vents) for three years and then the rear dash leather pulled back.

Pulling out the dash should have been easier the 2nd time. Nope. It is still a huge pain. A belt change is far easier.

 

I'm waiting for the time off from work I have for the holidays to do this same thing.

 

That’s a beautiful job. I can’t believe what a good job that shop did. Simply amazing work.

 

looks fantastic

 

Good price for a complete job.

Now if you use a reflective windshield cover every time its parked outside it will never need to be done again.

 

good advice, however i never liked them in a car or this caliber....so i sourced a long, large towel in bright red. made a template of my dash with all it's contours, etc. traced and cut it out on the towel. then had my tailor bind the cut edges and sew on a cavallino patch in the center of it. It came fantastic and was the cheapest project done to the car to date. I get compliments on it all the time. just a thought....

 

do you have any pics? sounds interesting

 

before i smoothed it out. i love it...

Also keeps the rest of the interior cool (esp seats when it is hot outside)

 

Does not keep interior cool and only protects the dash. I don't care what other people think when my car is parked. My 33 year old Testarossa dash still looks perfect and its cool when I come back to it.

 

Looks beautiful. I would be itching to have the wheel recovered in the same material to get that same butter-smooth matte finish on both.

 

Interesting thread,

I'm doing this same thing for a client, (2003 convert) - his defrost vents pulled loose, dash leather was wavy, so a recover was necessary. We ran into a problem where the dash (we thought was black) was actually very dark blue, and we searched and searched to find a compatible color - could not find any to match the proper shade of the color. Ended up having to order similar leather grain and custom dye the leather to match the original. Project turned into a real CF - then the leather was too thick for a nice looking french stitching as original, so we had to have the leather thinned so we can do the appropriate stitching for the correct look.

Now waiting for the dash trim work to be finished to reinstall. 5K would be a bargain on this project. Also for consistency we did the A pillars and header panel so all the color was consistent.

Additionally, while all this was out - i did the sticky project as well - so door panels came off, console and seats out. Great time to leatherique clean and deep clean the leather. It will be beautiful when done, but not a 5K project :-( .
