    It does look great.

    How does it attach to the dash trim?

    I'm about to install my switches and panel. I'll take pic and I might do a write up on it. But I'm sure everyone knows how to do this.

    But go ahead and cut a few panels just incase ANYONE want one, I'm very pleased with the way it fits perfectly in between the pocket and the dash trim piece.

    It is just held in behind the lip of the center dash trim?

    How solid is it e.g. would it pop off if you're wheeling pretty hard?

    Assuming you don't charge me like Toyota would for plastic, I'd totally be interested

    The pocket holds it to the lip of the dash trim. It's in there tight. No flexing or moving around. I can push hard on the panel and switches. It's no going anywhere while wheeling
