I liked Terri's comment on going slowly. Also, I didn't realize that there are 
metal clips that are used to 
attach the vinyl to the edges of the dash along the lower edge and glove box 
area. Trial fit the speedometer and Tach units, I think the vinyl in that area 
is cut flush with the holes (not wrapped around and through the hole). I have 
crinkle powder coat on the instrument cluster, which is more resistant to 
scratching than crinkle paint available from Moss and probably others. I used 
3M glue from Lowe's and applied to both surfaces and let it get really tacky. I 
applied to just the flat surfaces initally - then as Terri said do the curved 
portions later - patiently doing small areas at a time. Call the Roadster 
Factory if you need the clips. I couldn't find them in the catalogs either at 
TRF or Moss but I think they have them. Hope this helps.
