felting my dash

[Dirty91Legacy]

As some of you rally fans may know putting felt on the dash eliminates almost all the glare... no big deal on roads but in the woods it makes the world of a difference here are some pics of my leggy during the process.

Here is my sweet racing seats and harness'

Original dash..

Steering wheel out and trim brazel out

Out goes radio, cup holder, gages, and ashtray

Dash... GONE!

Laying out the felt

I even had time to make myself a custom pizza

Applying felt with spray adhesive

i filled the little dash pockets on the top with plexi glass.. I think the final product looks good.



Still need to cut out the vents and put them back in

Very cool! Nice work.

[Dirty91Legacy]

Thanks man means a lot cause i put so much effort into that haha

[fishbone79]

That looks awesome man! I always thought it would be cool to do that, but I don't rally my car so I would look like a bit of a tweaker.

[Dirty91Legacy]

I tell you what it def looks sweet too

[Grayguy]

hmm, I kinda like the looks of that. Nice job!

[asc_up]

Damn! That never would've crossed my mind as a way to dress-up the interior! Looks great! Some guy on NASIOC flocked his dash, but that had to be WAY too much work haha.

[LostinMaine]

where did you get the felt? and how much did the materials cost you to do this and how much time. sorry lots of questions in one sentence

[fishbone79]

Did you glue it down with contact cement, or with that pizza?

What kind of spray adhesive did you use?

[Dirty91Legacy]

i bought the felt at a regular fabric store my choice well my girlfriends choice was Joan's and then i used elmers spray addhesive < shit works AMAZINGLY and just took my time and worked on it real easy making sure it was flush everwhere

[Dirty91Legacy]

o shit i forgot the price everything total was less then ten bucks the felt was 5 bucks for 2 square yards and then the spray glue was 3.99.

[LostinMaine]

hmmmm i see this being a mod in my near future, only problem i see is it getting dirty when i take the car out driving "up north"

[mexicanzero]

dam! thats awesome! i want one but maybe lime green felt... no wait that'd be ugly

3M (super M, I believe) makes a contact spray adhesive that I've used for carpeting speaker boxes. It works very well too.

[evolutionmovement]

3M makes a common temporary and permanent spray adhesive. The Super 77 is temporary. Can't remember what the other is called.

Or just buy a kit to flock your dash

Or just buy a kit to flock your dash

then have your mom do it so you can call her a mother flocker.

flocked dashes look awesome.

[AWD_addict]

That felt looks way better than the blue plastic.

[Apex3]

Looks way better than I expected? Any reason you didn't go with suede? Too expensive? Or just the look?

3M spray adhesive works awesome! I used to to wrap my STi steering wheel with suede, just gotta be a little careful with not laying it on too thick or it'll leak through, but you don't really need too much anyway.

Money is tight I just moved from PA to south carolina once I get more money I have whole list of costom mods...I'm a DIY kinds guy

[beanis05]

now i want to do my dash in luis vuitton print for all to drolll over

but i wont, bc im too cheap, ill probably do this in order to match all my door panels to the dash and to the trim, since it look like a blue/black/tan zoo in my car

[NICO]

wow looks good & the pizza to, wish i was there lol

[crashnburn]

looks great. i think my dash is next in line for this. total time it took to do?

[SubyFusion]

Nice! I remember when i had my car apart like that the dash is a big job i had to change the stupid heater core! ruined my carpet I painted the dash while i had it out and to my suprise it came out nice it was tan and I painted it black! i give you props for the felt though looks great

[Fkyx]

I'm wondering what level of maintenance is required to keep the felt looking good. I'm sure it catches dust like no other.
