Default Retrofit leather dash

I have sourced a possible donor vehicle but I have not seen a full leather dash in person. Those with this option- does the leather treatment extend over the passenger airbag or is it just on the dashboard "trim" pieces, ie the lower kick panels/surrounds?

If you have any shots of your interior, please share them so my cousin and I can gauge our actual interest/dedication to this

It goes all the way to a small trim piece on the windshield. This will be a pretty major amount of work. Good luck!!! See if you can find the carbon fiber trim while you are at it. In my opinion it really takes it a notch or two higher.

It sounds like that would be an entire dash component replacement and I don't think we have the patience to do that.

The trim is wood in the donor, I prefer my aluminum

The trim simply snaps out - and can be very easily swapped.

Trim for sure, I was referencing this (these?) units, green check marks (brazenly borrowed from google images)

I know the lower parts are snap on/snap off and the cowl cover

You are correct those sections in green are the complete dash panel itself.

And to answer your original question -

Yes. The green checked areas are leather.

Thanks everyone. Not in my cards, but hopefully someone will search this in the future and have different plans
