Ian W Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i think it looks excellent, different to the usual glossy black/grey painted ones you see (or stick on c/f effect ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Was the owner clad in a purple suit, cane and fury top hat? i dont think so i think it was one of tamon designs car's, the red one, sounds like a pimp? i think if you could get a black alacantara dash with stiching like on the aston martin db9 it would look sweet on the supra dash. http://www.tamondesign.com/blog/cat4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 i reckon you should go all out and do the full dash, whats it like price wise for alacanara? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisjames Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 i reckon you should go all out and do the full dash, whats it like price wise for alacanara? £60 to £80 sq metre, the labour and stretching it right takes the time, i cant do stitching though, well prob could, just never have lol im going to do roof lining, pillers and both glove boxs, prob leave at that. its good insulation too.

louisjames Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 60 to 80 beans a squar meter! fuck me i've seen cheaper leather. its treated and stuff, bare in mind you could do most the interior for 150 quid, its not bad, and alcan is leather, reversed and treated. my mate has a custom focal demo vito van, had a alcan retrim cost 6 grand, but then its a van, the panels roof liners and everything done.

Gazboy Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Looks great from a distance, but doesn't look finished around the dash furniture, but it's still a good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
