I modified my dash pad.

I'd post a before pic, but I think everyone here knows what an original blue dash pad with cracks looks like. Basically I peeled off all the vinyl from the foam, then applied expanding foam in the middle part and shaved it down. Then I glued on the insulation that is used underneath pergo or "floating" flooring, and finally attatched the khaki material to that, in two layers. The pic of the pad totally covered before it's in the truck is just one layer. I used LocTite spray adhesive [honestly because I didn't think I had enough 3M Super-77 which is also a great adhesive]

Why khaki? I am later on going to cover my headliner and a couple door panel pieces with it as well. I like to be different in odd ways.

The pics follow:
