dashboard re-skinning

[77galantv6]

hey all,
i aam about to get my dashboard reskinned and was
wondering if anyone has done this and who they went through?
i have got a few quotes, most being around the $500 mark and even had a quote for $1200
just seeing if anyone had any other contacts.....

cheers,
Dean.

I've always wondered what it would cost?
What do you get for $1200, total reconstructive surgery?

[77galantv6]

yeah, basically get a standard dash that looks better than when it came out of the factory.....

It would want to be good for $1200.
What do you get for $500?

[77galantv6]

exactly the same

just different places charge different hourly rates

I got one done for a LC Lancer from Dash Origional here in Adelaide, cost me a bit over $300. They filled in the cracks on the top and a couple of the switch holes for me and then re-covered it. Was very pleased with their work.

I got my datsun 1600 dash re skinned by a guy in Blacktown Sydney. He's a bit slow and I've had to be patient, but happy with the job. He is doing one of my GTO dashes now. Much more dificcult than the datto one so will see how that goes.
$200 for the datto dash and $450 approx for the GTO
There is another joint in Sydney but I cant seem to find the details

Plenty of people have re-covered them with leather. I don't know why you would. Unless your dash is really crappy looking. I can't imagine leather lasting long in direct sunlight.
Other than that, I don't know what else is available...

I was a little worried about sending mine in the post but I spose I was being paranoid. GTO bits are hard to come by tho
