Snake Skin?

[only126db]

I am thinking of reworking my nasty dash pad (cuz I M cheap), was looking at vinyls colors and saw some snake and alligator vinyl, was thinking hmmmm...

Then I was thinking I would have to do the door panels too...

But then what about seats, cant afford gator seats, thats a whole different ball game.

I could get vinyl for dash and doors for less than $75 probably....

What say you guys?

I am just getting parts together right now so....

What kind of truck are you working on? I used a coverlay over my dash..its just a hard plastic cover that goes over the original dash.I got the kit that included door panels so they'd match..got my seat cover from lmc

To me it wouldn't look good and that cheap vinyl will never last long with the suns uvs hitting it and the heat.

I just cant see spending that money, thats just too rich for my blood for a dash.

If you have stitching skills, it is not so bad to do but that bend in the dash is a monster for a newbie.
I did the dash I did in my 84 when I was like 21 held up, it was black ostrich with red faux gator stripes ugly as all hell, but I was just a kid with bad taste and money to waste.

I honesty think people over due the skins, what I mean is they cover too large of areas with it when it looks best as a accent against solid coordinating colors. I would cover the door inserts the area around the vents and the cluster cover door pulls.

I did the dash in my 90 burb its holding up no stitching just adhesive. Will post pics.

GOOD LUCK!

Ok, sounds good, I have a while before I decide. It's still too cold here for me to get to the project since I like to spend some time on projects, hate doing the one or two hour shots...
