Default Got board with Vinyl wrap printer

So we got board with our vinyl wrap printer and decided to give wrapping my dash a try with a crazy design to see how it looked and how hard it would be to do. Dash was easy to wrap the gauge cluster will be getting re wrapped since i didn't have the proper glues to hold the tight corners plus were going to change the pattern also to add in some more color.

Nice work, but that pattern does not belong in the Vette IMO.

I like things that are different and this fits right into that.

Nice job on the wrap ... the pattern isn't my thing, but if you like it, go with it

Maybe if the wrap was black with the same gray design pattern it would look better.

But good job on the wrap and daring to be different.

I think I would worry about the windshield before worrying about wrapping the dash. JMHO

When I was a kid I covered the dash on my '62 Corvair Monza with walnut shelf paper. It looked better than that. BTW, isn't that a huge crack in your windshield? Don't know about TN, but it's illegal here in CA.
