By now I was leaning strongly towards Alcantara. The stock glovebox is simple plastic, but we have seen cars with that fuzzy soft material, right? So in fact for the GT-R I had always wanted this kind of premium look, but I just didn't know if I should stick to a black on black theme. Maybe something crazy like orange or red, might be fun to do in the glove box, for example.
While I mulled about what color Alcantara to order, Cesar sent me the following photos, to show me the necessary dimensions for the cloth.
This photo did it for me. Let's go with a black lining... |
And of course, Cesar kept upping the game, telling me he had ordered a bronze die to stamp the "SRS Airbag" into the dashboard!
What exactly is the technical term for this anyway? Gauge surround trim? |
I figured the next step would be wait as the Alcantara reached Cesar and he worked his magic. But no, he had a surprise for me...

Love how much detail Cesar and you are putting in to this.
Very much appreciated :)
I knew this project was wild but man, after seeing this "behind the scenes" stuff it's really incredible the extent to which you went for this project. I can't wait to see detailed pictures of the finished product.
Thanks Mot!
Anon, the best is yet to come....!!!!!
