That' would look clean. Cable-less controls open up some options to hide em. Overhead in a later model roof console is another option with the Vintage Air electric controls.

That dash pad looks really good.

Thank you. I had it done at a local upholstery shop.

Thank you for the compliment. I thought it was a great alternative to replacing the dash pad. I had them use a mid grade automotive vinyl and it cost me $200. If I went with leather it would have been in the $600 range.
