All the wood grain pieces then see if there's anything else that needs it

Thanks, I was undecided at first but I think after I get everything else wrapped it will really tie in well with the dark interior, and if I get tires of it I can pull it all off and I'm only out 50 bucks

Did you use heat to get it to follow the contour of the gauge housing?

Yes sir, when you hit it with a heat gun it gets very flexible
