3M super 77 FTW!! spray 2-3 layers and they will give you enough time to adjust until it dries....If you mess up, simply use alcohols to wip off the 3M adhesive and do try it again!!

I think the hardest part is going to be the area with the triple gauges. How did you do the cuts to get the wrap around on those long ovals?

mask the 3 pods....& the "pod's floors". spray glue & apply the fabric.
trim the edges with a very sharp exacto knife. it's hard to explain.....i'll try to send you some pics.

Do you have those pics to show how to do the area around the gauge pods?
I'm guessing you did not wrap the fabric around to the back like you did with the sides right? You just cut along the edge?

I think that looks WAY better than stock. I love it. I think the cheapest looking part of our interior, is the part you covered up.

I'm in to know where you go it / how much. I'll buy!

Edit: Sending PM..

Somebody, would you send that illustration to me as well? I already purchased the material from you, and was wondering about this as well. Thanks!
