Looks good too, did you glue it or just stretch it and staple it in the back

I just folded the material over the back and glued it down. I used 3M super 77 adhesive. it has been this way for 4 years now, and still looks great!

The trim piece is metal, and is only held on with tabs that bend to hold it to the panel.
