Re: dash and door help needed
To do it yourself tweed is the way to go, but if you are going for a cleaner look like vinyl you have to have somone that can do upholstry. You have to stich it, get it hot and pull on it. It sucks.
First pic is with tweed that I did and next is vinyl that a upholstery shop did for me. Quote:

Re: dash and door help needed
Not that I know about, it's not hard. Tweed is one of the best when it comes to do it your self, it moves and covers very good. Just use upholstery glue and start covering..
And thanks... Trav Quote:

Re: dash and door help needed
I don't know how it would be with the stock one, but I did cover my Rodoor panels myself. You have to just take your time with it. Here is a before and after
