The finished product is good, not perfect. For $12, works well for me. Took some close up pictures.

To get a smooth finish on the corners, you have to stretch the material. It starts to lose it's shine if you stretch it too much. I cut a piece of material bigger than the entire gauge panel. Then stretched it over the sides. Once the wrinkles were stretched out, I trimmed it around the chrome edge to remove the center piece. On the back side, I just trimmed the excess off and did not worry about wrinkles.

For the gauge edges, I cut a 1" or so strip and worked it around the inside edge. The taper of the edge made the material want to not follow the inside perimeter. This required stretching the material as it is applied. There is a seam doing it this way. May be able to cut a circle out and stretch the inside to fit. This may require stretching it more than it is intended.

If I was doing it again, I would cut a 2" or so wide strip long enough to wrap around the outer perimeter. Then work it around like tape.

Edit: Just noticed the numbers 717 written on the back of the piece. That is not something I wrote. Must have been on their when built.
