Today I finally received my roll of automotive suede material. I wrapped the mid dash trim accordingly.

I applaud you for a nice clean installation, but I am a bit undecided on how I feel about it.

I mean, I know my feelings on the subject are irrelevant, but I am thinking that suede is too retro for these "cutting edge" machines. Maybe if the color was darker, to match the rest of the trim.......

I don't know.

Points for originality though!

P.S. Fair warning - should you proceed to wrap the rest of the dash with suede you will be immediately exiled from this forum and have your man card revoked!

I don’t do anything gaudy, like wrapping the whole vehicle in suede. These ares are all touch points, and the hard plastics feel too cheap. The leather style from the Limited is nice, but those are parts are too pricey.

They are ran to my auxiliary switches under the hood.

Black- ground

Red- main combo light pattern

Red w/ blk line- red backlit feature

Just a suggestion, you mightve done it already, but try wiring the red backlit feature to your brake lights. I did mine like that and I love the way it looks

I was thinking about doing that with the vice design harness I have but unfortunately the "NEW TO ME" ssc2's are not working properly. 1 of the 2 has the backlit feature that works so I'm going to get it replaced soon.
