I'm going to bring it to my upholster and see what he says. The stitching is super fine tight thread, that would be a challenge. I'm not giving in to a $2500 dash cover though!
If all else fails maybe I can get my upholster to make me a template with a upgraded folder over for the dash edge and go into business selling these over priced cow skins ..

Good point.
Here you go, and no affiliation etc, but it looks nice in the pictures.

Looks pretty good in the pics, right click and open in a new window for larger size.
Hope that helps,
Dave

Before I had my dash removed, restretched, and reglued and stapled, before I could see how easily it could be repaired, I had contracted an auto upholstery shop in my area to do a complete reupholster of the dash including the leather for $1300.00. That's in the heart of Los Angeles. You should be able to find a shop to do it for no more than that, maybe less. You may have to have the dash removed for them, but maybe not if the windshield is removed. And even if the stitching came apart, it can be hand stitched, in place, as another forum member showed when he changed the color of his stitching by himself. I don't remember the name of the post, but I'm sure it can be found.

A little further North, but try calling Steve Secrist at Palm Park Auto Upholstery in West Palm Beach, 561-832-8281. He did my headliner a while back and did a great job for a lot less than the dealer wanted.
