I applaud you for a nice clean installation, but I am a bit undecided on how I feel about it.Today I finally received my roll of automotive suede material. I wrapped the mid dash trim accordingly.

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.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!
They are ran to my auxiliary switches under the hood.
Black- ground
Red- main combo light pattern
Red w/ blk line- red backlit feature
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.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
Where did u get the wrap?

I bought the dark gray because the black would have been too dark. The dark gray could be darker, but I like the contrast against the dash color.Did u buy the black or grey? On the sellers pictures the black looks very dark black compared to your photos
Thanks. I tried out a vinyl wrap that looked like wood first, but it just didn’t look right with the contours of these pieces. I am happy with the way the suede turned out.Oh nice. That is pretty cool!
Swapped out factory reflector LEDs for Morimoto XB projectors.
The install wasn’t all that bad. Getting the lower trim panels off was the most aggravating. I managed to do it without breaking tabs.What are your thoughts about the install and how they function?
Over the course of about a week i tried my hand at welding and a little fab work (if you want to call it that). I bought some Diode Dynamic SSC2’s from @Waterfowler41 and made my own chase mount lights mounts to fit under my bed cover. Also this is the biggest harness I’ve made to date and the most soldering I’ve ever done in one go.
