any luck with dash pad covers, or recovering

I m in the market for a dash pad for my demon project. I m looking for feedback on the moulded -hard dash covers. or I m looking for pics and feedback from those who recovered their own dash pads. I know it can be done and done well, (I ve seen-held a pad that was recovered) and it looked great.
SOOOOOOO. picks and info is what I m after. I m a try it yourself kinda guy. I already know if worst comes to worse I can buy a repop pad. I know there are a lot of guys wanting to chime in ....JUST BUY A NEW PAD. but my experience with folks like that is most of them have never tried it themselves first. or have more money than I do. lol.
thanks to everyone for feedback
