I think that's a nice place to start! But first, gotta have some food! Nom, nom... [ATTACH=full]245830[/ATTACH] Mmm, sssllluuuddge: [ATTACH=full]245831[/ATTACH] The cupholder, sans blue tape, ready to go in: [ATTACH=full]245832[/ATTACH] Damn, I do lurves that thar dere PlastiDip!! It do look so SSSMMMOOOOOTH!!! [ATTACH=full]245833[/ATTACH] And the upholstery bit looks good, too: [ATTACH=full]245834[/ATTACH] It's not without it's rough edges, tho:(: [ATTACH=full]245835[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]245836[/ATTACH] I managed to get them folded and stuck down with superglue, and blacked out with a marker; but, I can't figure out how to make it truly disappear. These bits aren't obvious or noticeable, but there are lots of others elsewhere that are more visible, and I can't figure out how to hide them! :(. Suggestions welcome!

Went right in... then wouldn't latch!! :angst: I fiddled with it awhile; then figured out what the problem was: [ATTACH=full]245838[/ATTACH] I sludged in under the eject springs.
