Default Need Some Help Fellas

Well I don't usually start threads, just post advice and what not and read through search results. Now I'm stumped and don't know what to do. Well sometime ago my dumbass got the idea to mount my wideband on my dash. Instead of using 3m sticky tape like i should I decided to screw through my dash :-( Well I'm out of ideas and need some of you creative geniuses to give me some advice. I need something to cover it, it needs to be roughly 2x2 inches or bigger and contour to the curvature of the dash. I thought about putting my "Last of the Breed" Badge on there but it's a little too big and I didn't want to bend it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I work at a car dealership and they got this dude that comes around and patches interiors. He does a great job, 99% of the time you cant tell it was ever messed up. I had him cover a hole in my dash, charged me $15. So theres gotta be somebody in your area that does that kind of stuff.

^ i did pretty much the same thing. i just used some of the extra decals that came from my
stripe kit (the T/A door overlay, and a bird)

this would help take the attention from the holes

Great Ideas guys! Well I like the patch idea, in fact I know a guy that wrapped my bike seat in leather maybe he can do that. I like the trans am idea to especially since i took my door decals off and still have them. The door decals are a little big for my taste tho just a little to "in your face" ya know?
