Thank you!
it began life as a 3 ring notebook with a 'fuax' grain look. it was semi-stiff. I used the existing gap in the dash to wedge in the shroud. It's not glued or screwed. Yet it is solidly in place.

I was going to make one out of fiberglass.
there is a liquid that you can but that you pour over the existing shroud (over the driver's display). when it dries (but doesnt stick) you now have a mold that you put the fiberglass and resin into.
I would then have a center shroud in the exact same saize and shape as the driver factory shroud.
BUT when I found the notebook........it was just much easier!

They're real. I made a little bud vase. Bring a little of sunny california into the car, even in winter. Not very "eco" to kill wild flowers for my pleasure, I guess, but...
