Seen some dashes recently, that were covered in flocking. Neat look, not so neat would be the longevity of bright colors and fibers if in a high use area.

If it does help dash creak, or makes custom panels that much more desirable to look at, some of these race cars could look a little less "racy" if they ever get pulled over.
Oh what, that, Officer? Those tubes were installed at the factory, they keep the car from collapsing in on itself.
Yes, yes, Officer, all of Mitsubishi's base model cars come with flocked dash boards and Stewart gauges.
