i think that it will look like a fancy carpeted dash mat.

It wont be like a dash matt, cause it will cover the whole uppper part off the dash.The bezel color, in conclusion leaving the lighter beige. I have to do something cause some fool who had the sc before painted the dash and glove box black, with the steering wheel. Its started to crack and i tried scrappin it off and applyin goof off for "plastics" remover, but it does not look too clean as i want it. I thought suede may be nice since it is done on the is300 seats and door panels?

Here's an interior with some brown suede. I think it looks great. Some other people like Redphoenix have black suede

I dont know much about suede man...its risky, it can really look like crap if there is no stitching to show quality. its 50/50 depending on how well and clean its done.

That is true, stitching plays a big role in suede... so if this does not work good. I guess im going to have to get a new dash interior

well whats currently wrong with it? If nothing major then just spray it any desired color. You could always just stitch some thread in there along the borders..but again, gotta be good.

it cracking due to exposing the bezel and cream. I think it is from the hott and cold weather we get here. But i jus wanted a cleaner look than having black paint in between my leather cracks. (Dash only) everything else was painted as well, i changed the door panels and two front and rear seats from the paint masacare. They were from another sc, but in much better condition cause the paint cracks was unbearable.
