props on the idea. i like it. go for it man. i like chrome wheels but there are people out there that would love custom wheels like than. i do love the finish of the mitsubishi parts
thinking on the subject, i wouldnt mind having carbon fiber hoodscoop fill, GS stripe, and berger panel. i think that would look badass on my car

ACU pattern is garbage in my opinion. its the worst camouflage pattern ever created. very different but not something to go on a car. i dont care for the look of busy rims, too much going on, stick with a solid pattern, or 1 or 2 colors, not 4.

Is this an adhesive backing which can be applied by the customer themselves? Or would you need the part (99 dash pad) to be sent to you? I'm actually just trying to cover my cracked dash and yes I have a dash cover already, but wanted something to make it look better.

initial process
All parts are hand processed from beginning to end.
When received all parts are cleaned, prepped and or sand blasted if it is “applicable”. Next they are primered, hand sanded to get rid of any texture, and then base color coated. Further they are processed with water transfer printing, and then finally clear coated. All high gloss clear finishes are also hand color sanded, and hand buffed for a flawless, incredible shine.
Water transfer printing
Water transfer printing uses a water soluble film which has an image printed onto it with an ink; regular printing press similarly would print that way on paper. The film is placed on top of a vat of water; it dissolves leaving the ink floating on top of the water. That is the time when the "part" is dipped into the water and the ink prints onto the part as it is submerged into the water.
so this is not an a stick on film. however i can dip the dash cover
