Use contact adhesive...the yellow stuff. For a small part like this you can brush it on each side and let it tack up before sticking the two together.

They need to work on that stitching. Looks good otherwise, but even the shift boot is off and these are the photos on their website.






How it should look...



Not trying to hate, just pointing it out so people aren't disappointed.

Fair pick up, perhaps that side was meant to be facing the AC controls.
If so, it isn't like you'll ever see it and you can't beat that for ~50 dollars.

I can see some stitching issues on the top right corner, it doesn't appear to follow the contour of the dash pad either?

I noticed the stitching on top as soon as i opened it up but since it's literally only one stitch that they missed i'm ok with that. It's bound to happen here and there regardless of who makes it when they're hand made them since they're all made to order and not mass produced. I can even pick out a few examples of the stitching being off a little bit on my $800 leather coat so it's to be expected. I was going to put that side facing the back but realized the other side was supposed to be the back as it had 2 small slits cut in it to allow it to stretch over to the reverse lockout. (not sure if they need to use the slits on all possible designs or just with the stripes since the stripe is it's own piece and has to be stitched in and that part ends up stiffer since the leather is rolled in on the inside and creates seams) but all in all i'm quite pleased for $50 shipped.

Their stock picture of the dash pad stitching is definitely of concern but it was literally their first one they made like that so hopefully mine will be ok. For good measure, i added a comment in my order to try to get that even lol

I just kept it simple and got the black alcantara with red stitching to match my stock parts and JPM Coachworks gauge cluster hood.

i ordered basically the same thing but with black leather instead with the red stitching. I just hope it's cut in a way that it won't interfere with getting the pieces to clip back in. If it wraps around the that edge where the 2 meet, it might be too thick. Guess we'll see what happens

i just put the ebrake boot up to handle to see how it'll look and it blends so nice with the leather texture of the plastic they used for the center console. I might get it glued up to the frame tonight
