Any have pics of a black suede dash cover? (recommendations?)

Hi all, just got a 2008 G37 coupe, and of course the dash has some cracking issues, I was wondering if anyone has purchased a black suede dash cover and has pics of it installed? I googled and searched here but couldn't find anything. And here's some pics of the car for fun. :P

Damn, I'm jelly of that color. And my dash hasn't crack either I feel like those so called products to "protect your interior" that people used probably reacted with the sun when sitting out so I'm guessing that's why. Always buy quality stuff friends.

Nice, thanks for the replies - I'm trying to find a thinner-type suede one or something, or I just might try to replace the whole dash because the main crack wouldn't even be covered by the dash cover in my case..

Other than cracks, the dash just looks sticky and gross most of the time. :P

Have you thought of trying to vinyl wrap it all in a satin black tone like the color of my exterior or a 3m brushed black aluminum color like my enterior trim?

I'd take a crack at it if you live close to NJ lol otherwise you can always find a place that can in your area. But then again it'll set you back a few hundred I'd assume

Hey my twin! Well, I say after the cost of the wrap you'll be around the same as a replacement dash so its a toss up. I have never seen the cracks before either, weird.


So if you don't mind my asking, how many miles and about what did you pay?

autoanything sells them. But it's 2016 and people never heard of sunshades to protect their dash from cracks and keep their interior a bit cooler?
