Looks great. Did you die the dash with it still in the car?

Yes I dyed the dash while it was still in the car. I started a thread about it a few months ago. I did take all the trim off though. I think it came out great, but I may take the dash out in the spring to make it better. No one can tell it's dyed unless I point out some flaws. But if it bugs me enough I will take the whole thing out and give it a few more coats with an airbrush.

What do you mean Woody? How hard was it to dye or how hard will it be to remove the dash? It wasn't to bad to dye at all. The only hard part was near the windshield, that part is a pain. When you put the first coat on the first thing you will think is this was a mistake lol. After a few coats it starts to look good. Since I took all of the trim off before I dyed the dash, the dash could have come out in a few more minutes i'd guess. But I was outside and the weather was kinda sketchy. I used the sponge method. I think the spray method would be easier. If I was to do it again I would take the dash out and spray it. I probably will do that in the spring.

Looks great, Tommy. Props to you for tackling a big DIY.
I recently re-dyed my seats, and it did give a feeling of "oh f*%k" what have I done when I first started. Came out great though - like you - I notice a few small flaws, but not many others do.

I LOVE the leather airbag cover on the steering wheel. I wish I could find it at an affordable price in grey.
