Thanks guys

They took my dash and laid some kind of padding and then spray adhesive and wrapped the vinyl on it. Doing the prep work saved me lots of $$$$$

Re: dash
Did you just have to fill in the cracks and sand it down for the prep work for the most part?

Re: dash
Here you go Roy. I cut out all the cracks then filled in all the cut outs with bondo and sanded it down smooth.

Re: dash
Thanks Clayton, that wasn't very much then. Not that it isn't some work to do that but not to bad to get it ready.

Re: dash
French seams always look nice on the dash. Good job! The Porsche crowd has a guy that does their dashes up like that and runs around $1200 if I remember right, or just the kit for like $700 or so, so you did just fine on price.

The grill in the picture is made of 16ga perforated stainless plate. I have decided to go a different route on the grills and have some aluminum perforated plate punched out to flush mount the top of my dash.

Re: dash
Once you bondo it the interior shop sprays an adhesive then puts a layer of foam down before applying another adhesive and wrapping the vinyl. I don't think it'll crack being that it's stationary once installed.
