Yup, lamin-X is just thicker. You wet the back and your fingertips to apply it. If you have ever applied a screen protector to a phone of tablet its basically the same. I ordered the 8x8" sheet direct from lamin-x. Check retailmenot.com for a coupon before ordering. I have a smoke sheet left I will sell if anyone wants that, as I lked the gunsmoke look more.

Best one I have found. Too much heat in TX to not protect your dash when parked all day.

Some more pictures for you guys. I have considered making pre-cut pieces for these that can be shipped out. Let me know if you guys would be interested in pre-cut pieces. If there's enough interest, I can move it up in my priority list.

I may be interested....

What sort of material is used on the logo? Is the grill surround a single piece of gloss vinyl?

If you could make a precut thing for the chrome around the window trim that'd be awesome.
