Unfortunately, I can not take credit- but my wallet can!

I watched the guys do it, and it's very similar to applying window tint sound deadening.

1. Cut to rough size.
2. Test fit and smooth out.
3. Figure out which end to start glueing.
4. Apply glue and smooth as you go.
5. Wrap excess around to back side and glue.
6. Let it dry.
7. Cut out slits for visor, lights, and clips and glue extra to the backside

And I think that was about all!

Looks nice. Wonder how long before someone relizes they can draw and write things in it.
