Side note: Marcus, those things you sent me didn't attach to the dash, but thats okay

I wondered about that at the time which i think i voiced, they were just so finely cut and the dash has that mottled contoured surface. Only way to do it is to degrease the dash thoroughly and then warm it before application.I use a duplicolor product for that. The dash goes White from the degreaser but later, after at least 24 hours following application, you can apply silicone or Armour-all to bring the lustre back.

I actually ran an extra one and put it on my own dash but didn't like it lol

Yeah, thats alright. It kindof would've screwed with the clean look of the interior anyway. You did tell me about that, not your fault at all. I'll find a place for them though, don't you worry

Yea but it's worse than you think. If it's White on top, imagine below

Just an example, I have shiny Steeda Billet LCA's, before I cleaned them off, they looked like Salt blocks [:@]
