so, did you just cut the holes out for the DIC buttons or did you actually tuck them in?

Wow, came out really nice. I think it gives it a kind of "luxury" look to the dash.

cut and tucked. the foglight button was the biggest pain. I could not just cut and tuck. I had to cut as much away as i could so the button would work.

I did mine a while ago like this. It also helps for the rattles, even with the TTR upper mount and tranny mounts. I also got my Recaros done, but just that mesh part. I did my headliner first, and now I've got the dash, headliner, seats, and the top panel of the door done. It looks pretty good!

i'm gonna try and do all the upper half gray/tan plastic wrapped in suede, or like ultralux.

looks amazing man, i wouldn't have thought to do the dash, but i really like it.

Not to mention suede wrapping the plastic gets rid of those damn squeaks and rattles.
