I was checking out some DIY videos for installing the Vinyl on youtube. It seems to be perfect for tight corners, etc. The first thing that came to mind when I was watching it was your dash. Did you check out the link I posted? I think they have much better price then 300 bucks. and shipping is free. Oh and the weight factor will be considerably less.
I'm going to give it a go on my center console to breakup the flat black.

Nope not giving up. All I have to do really is repeat that proccess I did, and finish up the edge. Its just that Those nice weather days back than when I was doing this, are here now but I work the whole day (12:30-8:30). Im actually trying to get my harrop on and tuned cause now I can somewhat drive the car. I put this on hold until I get the Harrop on basically. I really really want that on for Rod Run. and then when I get that and my Steering wheel on. I can try and bust this dash out but damn thatll be hard haha.

Thought Id snap some pics while I test fit the dash, talked to my friend so we'll see when he can help.
Fitment wise....seriously....it went right in(that's what she said
)
Just put the bezel in...
Outside, looking in...
No problems at all, I will say that around the top of the bezel and the cluster will be the hardest thing to make "look good". Cant wait though, got my CF hood layed on the car today too, oh and the smoothline top
Happy modding!!

Looks like it is coming along, and looks like a lot of mods to work on at once. You are doing a lot of the things I intend to try sometime
Your cellar doors are rusting away
I have a general comment
I believe the Mod Bug can be described as CADHD or:
Corvette Attention Defecit Hyperactivity Disorder
