JCW leather dash and down tubes

Recently installed the JCW leather dashboard and downtubes. Great mod. Subtle and refined but completely decadent. Well at least the JCW logo on the dash is backed up by its JCW airbox with the flap removed.

Looks great! Thats one of the things I want to do to mine someday as well but just have to turn loose of the funds to do it.

Secured all five pieces from two sources for a total of $435 including overnight shipping. The dash pieces came from Ebay no less.

Stuffed the down tubes with padding to minimize its hollowness. As well as added some padding on the dash pieces where they met with the actual dash board.

Very nice for sure. I am going to get around to it one of these days but right now we are waiting on our 08 MC to come in for my wife so I am sure I will have plenty to tinker on hers for a bit then I will get back to mine. Thanks for the great pics as it really gets my urge going now.
