Awsome job man! Way to think "outside the box."

How did you get the exposed face of the dash to look tight without tearing the vinyl?

i havent gotten the M5's just yet, those are some stockies off a first gen GS... but the m5's will be here soon enough!

Overclocker: VERY CAREFULLY. i cut the leather with a razor like this >--< then peeled the leather back away from the foam underneeth and slowly cut away the plastic on the back.
