    My custom dash for the race car.

    Nothing too special. When the rest of the cage goes in eventually I'll probably pull the dash all together but for now I put this together. Thought you guys might enjoy it

    I used the tube applicator. Super easy! Holding up nicely also.

    Like the flocking... looks really nice.

    Unsure what you are doing with the cage, but with my MK4, the forward A-pillar bar went right where the little round vents are located (see page "who-the-hell-knows" in the signature).... I ended up moving the round vents further upstream (more towards center of the dash; about 4 inches from stock location) and sealed the end of the airduct.
