Here's the dash designs brushed suede cover. I cut the velcro to about 3/4" wide strips, wider than the 1/2" they recommend.
Ended up with 16 pieces. Decided I needed about 50%-100% more. (Mostly on the front edge)
Ended up adding some dollar store velcro, which are thicker and have gooey adhesive compared to the included velcro.

Overall happy with it. Just need to paint my defroster vent black..

Looks to be a good fit. Does it go over the instrument cluster hump well or is it raised in areas like in the valley on the sides?

It fits quite well, but does want to lift a little in the valley between the cluster and defroster. I think if is due to the face edge bending. I am thinking about putting a strip of velcro 2" in to tighten up that edge crease..

The right side cluster valley and entire front edge is where i put my velcro. Also on either side of the solar sensor (which now puts you in nighttime dimmer easier) Have no velcro around defroster, airbag seams or windshield. I'm happy for now.

Velcro brand from walmart, dont waste your time on the dollar tree stuff. Velcro brand seems better than the stuff they send you too.

Allow the heat from the Sun to 'help' the fitment, for a week or so. ( I found, the edge, at the top of the long vent, needs help to lay flat on the windshield side ) Lay something heavy along it, when it is hot? )
