Parchment dashpad

I been trying to find a parchment dashpad, I was told they never made one. While up a Carlisle pa. I picked up a new brown pad. In the end I decided to make my own Parchment one. Used S.e.m. products to redye.

I like that. let us know if there is any problem with it reflecting back on a sunny day. any time I put something white on the dash I can see it like a mirror reflecting back on windshield.

Re: Parchment dashpad

Looks odd to me, with everything else stock in there. Custom colors can look good in custom interiors. If you had gone with Sandalwood you would have a fresh looking stock interior. I'm not bashing. It looks good, just doesn't look right to me.

Re: Parchment dashpad

This is my everyday driver, Im a little more open for experimenting with different ideas, otherwise ive kept the truck very stock. Your right, the stock black dash pad would look more correct.
I changed the color of the interior from black to the parchment. In my mind I wanted to feel like im driving a truck on a Caribbean Island, taking me away from the every day grind. Yah-Mon.
