Does anyone Know where you can get the more Leather looking Dash Pad?
Real leather? I bought a hide off eBay. 42 to 45 Sq. Ft. Color: JET BLACK. Weight: 2.50 - 3.00 oz. per square foot. Did the dash, glove box, transmission tunnel cover, and door panels. All from the same hide and installed over 1/8-inch automotive sculpting foam. Very happy with the results.Originally Posted by Mslone

Another vote here for real leather. But, make sure what you use is UV coated and rated for automotive use. That will limit shrinkage, fade, and cracking.
