I love it. I'd be even more demanding of my passengers to NOT TOUCH ANYTHING with this though lol.

So far it has help up good. Of course I have to clean/brush it often. I actually spilled orange juice on the center console part just two days ago. I wiped it off immediately, let it dry, then brushed it and hoped for the best. Amazingly I can't even tell I did that now. I think its maybe because I applied scotch guard a few times so it didn't get a chance to absorb?

I use 3M multi purpose adhesive. It may be a little pain to remove but the backside is also different so it may not be too bad. At least I hope not haha

It took me roughly 4hours. I did one piece at a time. and also took forever to find the torx 10 to remove the ashtray. I ended up having to go purchase another since I couldn't find mines.

How did you take off the silver tab off of the ash tray?

+1 Scotch guard is the $l-l1t

different, not sure though

Beautiful! How are the corners done? There are a few places where corners show, particularly the two dash trims on the corner near the steering wheel. I'm guessing a neat fold is the best option?

Thanks, yea just pull and stretch the fabric a little to form around the corners best. Just be careful and try your best to keep your hands clean and free of glue!! I didn't and messed up two spots

I know right. It's been a while and I guess scotch guard should be applied every so often. as i figured out the hard way

once you take the ash tray top piece off you can grab a small flat head screw driver and from underneath you will see 3 wholes filled with a sort of glue if i remember correctly. use the screw driver and scrape off the glue. then you can push with little force from underneath and it should come off.

to be honest I have no idea

I already did the CF fabric and the suede I have on it now. Not sure what was next. Was thinking some sort of print but IDK, may be too tacky.

im getting tired of mine too but once people see it and put up good word, that makes me keep it for a bit longer.
