Message	I would think there would be several things you should do before I would wrap the dash in leather. If you are doing all that you might as well send the dash to a professional and have them replace the foam backing. Our dash is too long for JustDashes to do it. I know, I've asked. They don't have a machine long enough. There is another dash place, I forget the name, they quoted me $600 I think to recover mine. So, you would need to send the dash and possible the door panels to them because the foam would need to be taken off and new foam applied to the plastic dash core. You wouldn't want to spend all that money on nice leather and stitching only to have the foam screw up.
