[Tjaap]

are you gonna re-wrap the dash or maybe paint it?

[ANDROID184]

Well the plan, is to re-wrap it in black suede or black leather. If this dash doesnt come out good....I have another mint untouched rado dash to try on again....Thought about a fiberglass dash, but dont want it cracking on me

[Tjaap]

i say, run the wider flares, and just get some spacers.. NEVER sell those wheels
