fabric or felt on dash?

[Kmatts]

hey guys, just trying to get a plan for the SC project.
my dash has a black "cap" on it and is cracked underneath.
I was wondering if anyone has put felt or come cloth material over their stock dask. didn't they do this in the older race cars to reduce glare?
anythoughts?

Cheers,
Kyle.

DashTop™ dash "caps" are not bad!

Thats the worst waste of time I've seen.

well, some people like to powdercoat or cad plate every part of a car too.


plus, time IS money.......... and I've got lots of time

That looks great Dave,

Can you post some pics of it installed? Also, how is it now that you've been driving it for a while?

I've promised to take some pics of the install but haven't gotten around to it. I'll do it soon.

It's a really nice look for the car. People have commented on it. Personally I just wanted a "cool" DTM look in the car

Not sure about cleaning it though. Just b/c you don't see it anymore, it doesn't mean that there's no dust on it. If I ever will dust it, I figure I'll just use that air spray used for cleaning computer keyboards etc.

W/ multiple sunny, hot days where the car sat outside, I'm happy to say that the glue hasn't let go, either.

My dash has been 'felt up' in a different manner. I put a bunch of self-stick Velcro on the metal (the hook side) and then stuck the felt to it. I trimmed it up, and used some rubber door moulding/edging to clamp it down.
