Re: Dyeing Speaker Covers On Early C4 Dash

I did mine.

Carefully cut the glue at the lower edge (hidden below dash level) and removed and dyed the fabric.

In hindsight I could have just stuck the whole thing in the pot, plastic and all. I don't know how the old plastic would hold up to boiling water.

I used Rit dye. It took a few rounds of cooking to get them looking black instead of blue. Within 5 years they looked blue again.

*sigh*

My car was bose, the dash plates were solid plastic, but still had the molding for mounting a 4x6 underneath. Actually I remember I removed the fabric so I could cut holes for tweeters.
