Hi : As it happens I have been woundering the same thing, I have 1 with the vinyl
pulled of the frame ready to recover. And another one ready for that.
From another project I know the vinyl is very expencive , The guy i am makeing
a coustom gauge panel for had to order a ridiculous amount . At a ridiculous
price ! On to your Ques. that stiching on the enges is from a piecs of plastic , with
the stich pattern in it . I imagine they have a porcess ( much like Vaccum Forming
the sucks the vinyl in to those littlt spaces ) I will leave those on the console I
recover as it ,IMO leaves a more finished look. You will also need to find a sourse
for the thin foam padding that goes under the vinyl. If you do let me know as i
need it for both projects. Try fabric shops that sell to sowers and quilters.
