Dash cover

What color material should I use to make my dash cover. Black or charcoal (grey to me)?

Ya I’m thinking so too. I considered getting grey and darkening it some with dye but I would probably mess it up trying.

Getting it here:

https://www.dashdesigns.com/i-316799...ash-cover.html

There were two other places that use the same materials but the place I chose seemed to have a more detailed cut of the dash contours (as far as I could tell from what pictures they provided.)

I thought putting some suede on the dash would layer all the suede in the car nicely. I’m hoping it eliminates my desire for the zl1 suede dash insert. For some reason it pains me to want it. The red stitching sucks. What the heck GM? Where’s our suede dash insert? I also considered getting the one with the orange stitching and hiding it with a grey paint marker. But seeing others mark up their stitching makes me cringe so that won’t do. So trying suede on top first.

I’ll post pics when it arrives in about 2 weeks.

I’m confused the website shows charcoal for most all the different material options?

No! That charcoal is the grey swatch in the picture. I didn’t show you the actual grey one. It was almost white. Sorry, I called it grey because it is to me and I didn’t think my vocabulary would be fact-checked lol.
I updated my op.

Are you sure they didn’t send you the wrong swatch that looks pretty light gray to me charcoal gray is closer to what your steering wheel and arm rest are

Can you recover the dash pad in suede and white stitching?
