The dash will go into my FC which I'm building into a drift machine.
It got stripped interior and will also get a half-cage, bucket seats, racing hardness, hydraulic handbrake, wider fenders and more.
I think the flocked dash will fit into theme like a glove.

I've seen some drift 180sx's over here which done the same thing and I like it alot.
Rally cars usually do it to prevent sun reflection but thats not my main point, I'm only doing it because I want the race look

Always wanted to do a micro suede interior (similar to alcantara). I believe that is normal suede as alcantara is much smoother in appearance and feel...

I do like the way it looks on the doors, do you have any plans to replace the grey carpet on the doors at the bottom or are you gunna leave that and just have the dash colored parts covered?

Very interesting. I think I'd still rather have my stuff covered in Alcantara. Looks good though.
