Something new on the dash pad.

Decided to carry the center console cover theme over the radio bezel and up to the dash pad.

More work tomorrow!

I'm sure there will be glare but it's something you get used to and adjust.

I assume you are doing this yourself, do you use a 'double mask' process to create the checkered flag?

Not for me but it looks good. I was going to suggest a fine line on the outer edges but I see in the last pic that you're doing that.

Post up a pic when you get it all back together so peeps can see how it flows off the armrest.
