He is not posting prices to keep within the forum rules. Given the amount of interest there will likely be a classified ad soon, which is the right way to do it.
I'd be interested in seeing the inside finish. How are you gluing these to the plastic? I've always had a hard time finding glues that will hold over the long term given the heat that can build up inside a car.
Awesome idea, Thanks! |

I should probably post up my leather 944 and original Bluestar wheels in the classifieds, so folks with these new fancy-schmancy clusters can go full Monty in the bling kaching-ching department. _________________ Casey--

So a four page infomercial is okay, whereas saying they cost $350 is not?
That's dumb. |
Discussing a new potential product is OK.
Stating I got these things for sale for a certain price is not.
That is what an ad is for.

That would go nice with my new black leather seats with white stitching, but at $299, it would be almost as expensive as the seats and brackets combined. To each his own, but at $150, I'd still be on the fence about a purchase. I could probably have it done locally for about $100. Just my &.02. _________________ Cheers!

I am with you. I love this idea and one of my local shops would do it for $100-150 depending on the type of leather(top grain, suede, ultraleather etc.) and it's a place that has done many award winning show cars.
That being said I am installing a Jetta instrument cluster and will be getting rid of the old cover and making one that contours and looks right with the new cluster. _________________ 1987 Syncro
