I flocked my dash and bondoed the cracks, after about 2 months the bondo started cracking.

my lag is your courtesy head start
ATTENTION.... installing a head gasket, head studs or pistons and rods in your otherwise STOCK engine dose not make it a "built" engine! stop listing you cars for sale saying they are built when its not!!

Don't really high end cars have suede dashs? Like Aston Martin Vantage and Ferarri F430 Scuderia?
I always wanted to do a stitched suede dash in my S13. I did see a stitched leather(ete) dash in an S13 that turned out incredibly. No more S13, plus I couldn't do a straight double stitch to save my life.

urine surprisingly works as a great dash preventative, coat it on using a paint brush liberally. the pH balance in it acts as neutralizer to the heat prone and dry rotting vinyl dash. do this once every other month and aerate the car accordingly.
my dash is 20 years old and I've been doing this for about 3 years to mine and my friends cars and it's worked it's magic leaving my dash perfect and lustrous
ask tim.

I'm not a big suede fan, and flocking looks cheap unless it's done right.
+1 on what Mike said about an upholstery shop being able to recondition a dash to like new condition. Leather wrapping sounds cool, but I can't picture in on an s13 or s14 dash. Do you have any pics of this stitched leather s13 dash Ep?
I actually used truck bed liner on my s13 dash and it came out really nice. I even tried jabbing it with a flathead after and it held up to the abuse.
The only drawback was that it had a texture similar to skateboard grip tape. So you'd definitely get rashed if you rubbed your face or knuckles over it.
