I took some large roll paper that you use to mask for painting and cut a half pattern for the forward part of the dash that went from the centerline to one side pillar. We purhased some fabric and some piping and my wife sewed two of these pieces and then joined them in the center. We cover just the forward part of the dash and have an MCD power shade that comes down and meets where the dash cover ends. This project in the scheme of things was relatively easy and it gives you a choice of fabric. Using paper you can get a pattern that covers just what you want to cover and by taping the dash segmented paper pieces together you can create a pattern that you are happy with. We used an upolstery fabric that is quite flexible, I have never liked the carpet kind of dash covers, too bulky for my taste.
