It's easiest to take it to a trimmer, unless you are handy with a sewing machine and cutting templates e.t.c....

depending on how youre doing it,
ie if your using leather and are going to pad it with wadding then u need to use spray adhesive to stick the wadding down, then trim the edges, once this has been done the leather only needs to be stuck down on the back, using contact adhesive, probably something in a can, which you apply with a brush would be the best for this, failing that you can always staple the material around the back

Yea, but the dash has heater vents which need to be trimmed around, it is an odd shape so you need to template bits and sew them on, also, stay away from spray adhesive like the plague, use contact adhesive.
