Hi all
I have been thinking about it and I for one get shocking reflections from the dashboard onto the glass (very irritating) not to mention concern about what the harsh Australian sun will do to the large expanse of black vinyl that is on the dash.
I made some inquiries and found a trimmer that is highly recommended in restoration circles (attention to detail and the like were what I was seeking) and will be heading up there next week (Tuggerah, about 90 mins from Sydney - a good excuse for a drive!) and when I spoke to him on the phone, he said that although he would naturally have to see the car, he would estimate somewhere in the region of $100AU to $150AU (the same product is $45 - $50 for the run of the mill Commodore, Camry etc- none have been made for the SVX!)
That would be of the same 'carpet' like matrerial that dash mats are made of so would be either that or I was thinking perhaps an alcantra like the trim already in the car.
Blake and I are definites so is anyone else interested - the more we get I suppose the cheaper it will become.
Any other thoughts on the material???
Cheers
James
