    Aftermarket Leather Binnacle Wrap

    Has anyone seen these "in person" to see how the quality is?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREY-LEATHER...3D231973941937

    Looks like a company in the UK, but they seem to have leather covers for the binnacle, console, sun visors, Door B Pillar trim, door interior panels, knee pads and dash boards. It's just the new leather covers, not the whole item. I'm definitely interested in something like this. Could be a neat way to "two-tone" your interior with covers that actually fit.

    This work was not performed by the same entity in the eBay listing though, right? Who did this work?

    Binnacle cover

    Just received one before Springfield(didn`t drive my D) and I put it on without taking off the Binnacle.Came out real nice,but,I think it would have been easier and even a better look if I had. Of course I still can do that. So to answer the question I think it is a good quality item,medium hard to put on.6864.

    I would really like to see one of these installed. The add on eBay looks black almost. Has anyone received the one that is light grey? Definitely interested..... Although I imagine DMCH will start reproducing binnacles here pretty soon anyways.... Time will tell...
    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

    No not ebay, a coworker of mine has a custom upholstery shop at his house and I gutted my car and he redid everything to my specifications. Wanted something different

    It looks like the DMC California repros that Danny sells for $375. Personally, I like the look of the stitching.

    Oh i know but i got it alot cheaper by my coworker. The seat COVERS are DMC-H but he added 2 stage seat heaters, the dash and headliner is DMC-H also. Everything else he did and frenched in the lighted DMC badge on knee pad and made custom mesh covers over the rear speaker panels. He made new pull straps and a bunch of other little things. The stitching is idea i had for years to do to the car from seeing new cars done that way. Just wanted to be different
    This is a night shot.
