Re: wrapped my dash
it looks like a nice first try. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to flatten the cracks in the pad by filling them with something (bondo, expanding foam, whatever) and then using a sander or grinder to flatten out the high spots. Once you do that, tightly wrapping the pad with a good quality vinyl that stretches with heat will give you the ability to get it nice and tight, and to fully wrap it around the corners.

Re: wrapped my dash
The corners look ok they could have been better. It was my first time wrapping something like this. and Jim yea i was thinking about that after i started, it turned out great minus that part. ill prob redo it again later down the road but i highly suggest using the marine vinyl i got its very flexible but very solid and it supposed to uv ray protected so little to no sun damage!

Yeah, the corners are usually the challenge for anyone trying to wrap a dash pad.

Re: wrapped my dash
Where can you buy vinyl like that? Looks great, think I may give it a try on my spare dash pad
