It kind of snaps into place. it came with a silicone sealant, but i don't think it will be necessary.

Did you have any fitment issues, or have to do any trimming? Mine doesn't fit well at all on the driver's side, especially the skinny piece that makes up the bottom section of the gauge cluster bezel. I'm wondering if other people had to modify this to fit?

And yes, even with a so/so fit, it looks 1000% better!

No problems. It fit perfectly.

Not to be a naysayer but I think I'd like it better if the door panel colors were inverted. If the tops of the doors were yellow then the yellow dash would flow into them like it does in pic #5 (in black). All assuming one likes yellow, of course!

Kudos for daring to be different, regardless.

i think the scheme is perfect, good job. meant to add then when i questioned before, but was thinking about a cap for mine until a used non-cracked dash shows up when im ready for one.. sure as hell would look better than carpet
