  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I recently purchased a platinum 2013 R-Spec with only 22K miles on it. Car was in great shape except for one small slit on the dash. I looked up the price to replace the dash pad but at $400+ I couldn't justify the expense. I just debadged the back of the car and started to look at the R-Spec badge and decided to see what it would look like on the dash. I just used some 3M doublesided tape. It turned out better than I expected and at least I don't have to look at that slit on the dash any more. Opinions or other suggestions?

Personally, not my thing. But I will say it looks less tacky than I was picturing from the title of the thread.
 
Very innovative! Sure beats $400.
 
looks good actually... nice save!

Actually, Hyundai should have put an RSpec logo somewhere in the front cabin from day one.

my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't have come up with this type of fix. I would have priced out a replacement piece, and just been angry and annoyed every time I got in my car and looked at the cut lol.
