Well flock me, I think that picture gallery is a bit flocked on my laptop as can only see half a photo and I'll be flocked if i know why !!

Its pretty popular in Europe and done a lot in rally cars.

How does it go with wear? I've been seeing more and more of this and really starting to like it!

Here is a full R33 dash done from that website posted:

Yep I already read the full procedure on that dash and it made me want one too...

Im worried about cost surely its not cheap... looks great, I would love a flocked interior...

[elrodeo666]

Theres a guy from Finland,Holland or somewhere like that on the UK GTR site that did it to heaps of stuff in his car and just looks bloody good.

I'll try hunt the link up.

Gives it a more race feel than carbon but always wondered how it would cope with Oz conditions..e.g the Sun !!

Yeah I know the car you are talking about. Sweden rings a bell? His was the first I ever saw with a flocked dash. Basically lookes like suede.

Here's that one from the cover of a recent HPI. His was really nicely done.

I only just figured, we used it at work (the flock) for putting into our reinforced 2 pack paint, we call it "short stuff" though. Very durable, can't see the sun or UV being an issue....just depends on the type of adhesive they use, and if it's good enough to stick polyester and nylon, then I can't imagine it being your average glue.

Reckon if done properly it looks great.

that interior is hot.... and its a 33.... I want...

[xALmoN]

sounds like carpeting your dash, not for those sensitive to dust i guess.

it does look good though

[SRB]

its cheap... nepean flocking in sydney do it, $150 or so for a dash.. its like a suede texturey finish so ye grabs alot of dust etc

[75coupe]

ooh... Im tempted Ive always loved this look

how much of the interior should I flock if its a stock interior with half cage, side intrusion bars, 2 x sparco pro2000 and Takata harnesses...???

and how to incorporate 4 guages on dash top...???

whole dash minus the centre console a must

door trims at all?

steering column?

A pillar interior plastics?

[PM-R33]

Wow that's a lot cheaper than I thought!

Damn might look into this one day.

I was thinking the same thing man, how far to go with it? Would doors look weird?

[75coupe]

Id be just worried about the wear the doors can recieve off getting rubbed by hands arms etc...

but yeah would it look ok...?

[Messiah]

Be original... Flock the exterior.

[johnbarry88]

im only getting the centre dash part, steering colum shrouds and my centrle consol (not the lid)
