Some more sewing progress.

My pattern for the center dash piece is janky.. so I've been delaying since I don't want to make a new one! And the piece scares me.. hard to sew

Wrapped the vent trim rings. After messing up a bunch of times.. I was able to get these two pieces done in 2 hours start to finish on my last run. The cutting and sewing only took about 10 minutes. Then a lot of careful gluing.

Made a few drafts for the gauge cluster hood.

I liked the previous design.. but decided to do a more challenging design.

This one took about 3 hours from start (not including making the pattern). I honestly expected worse.. not bad considering only a week or so of experience.

I'll make the final copy with my better material tomorrow.

Thanks man, it's something new so I'm obsessed

I wanted to do the center vent.. but it doesn't look fun at all.

I also didn't know the speaker covers are fused to the US door panel pieces. Ugh.

Installed Mishimoto intake tube and removed sound generator.

Cleans up engine bay a bit and like not having sound generator.

Sewed the final piece and installed. I added padding too. Turned out killer

Took freaking forever.

@kberkel

Nice! I like the vent trim rings. It seems like it would look good. Any pictures of them installed yet?

Haha well goodluck! Man I was that way when I was laying carbon fiber all over my interior pieces. That obsession really grabs you lol. Then you try and tell everyone around you how your wrapping your interior in a carbon fiber weave or your sewing leather around your interior pieces with a french seam and they're like.. wut.. lol

Honestly I would be willing to buy a cluster hood like that off of you. If you sewed it i'm sure I could glue it on. Something to think about. I'd make it worth your time for sure.

Here ya go!

The dash piece took about 10 minutes to sew. Then probably 2 hours carefully gluing.

Considering it's about $10 worth of material I used.. pretty crazy how much those sell for.
