Just not feeling the dash at all. I would have redone it. removed the airbag cover and make it much smoother instead of adding the red and silver over the mess ups.

I was looking at it and I think since GM wrapped it in vinyl already it has to be possible. There is a type of vinyl that stretches like 5 or 6 ways very easily.

I'm now thinking about redoing my headliner in vinyl...I noticed it is sagging pretty bad now. Might do the rear trunk area and doors while I'm at it!

Just wondering, has anyone done the headliner in vinyl? Would it look silly to do all the interior plastic pieces but not the dash?

how does it feeeeel?

I'm serious. I love how it looks an all but I'd like to know how it really feels because that's a lot of what i've felt distinguishes a crappy interior from a high end one

Thanks for all positive and negative feedback, i appreciate it. Car is completed now and on wheels, I will post some pics with new wheels and stripes(red). Then you will see my"theme " , black/red. How does it feel, well it feels more cosy or snug, the plastic feeling is totaly gone.
(Maybe i will redone the dash after the summer, will see)

Have any tips for wrapping that bezel around the gauges? I'm trying to wrap mine right now and I keep coming out with a HUGE wrinkle somewhere. Thanks.

I found mine online. Came in a plastic bottle, not a can. I'll see if I can dig up a copy of my bill and see where I bought it from.
