As Paul said, every imperfection (high or low fastener) will show. You also might consider using an 1/8" padding. Check out "Closed Cell 2A Volara Foam Landau Padding", 1/8" thick", from Headliner Magic, http://www.headlinermagic.com and leather for a dash cover. Got my leather from Tandy Leather for about $100. Much nicer look. Just a suggestion.

NOTE: I have extra 1/8" padding if you want some. Just pad for shipping. Shouldn't cost much.
Thanks Ducky, I may take you up on the padding offer. I'm not 100% sure which way I'll go yet on the dash padding, but I could always pass it onto someone else if I don't use it.
