No pretty easy with a bit of time..just have to make sure its heated up with a hairdryer to make it easier to work with and slick a little better. Also makes it easier on curved surfaces.Keep smoothing with your fingers and pulling to get any creases out. Trim when its cooled down with a nice sharp stanley, or craft knife would have ben easier. Makes a big difference to a bland interior I must say. :D

I used the stuff thats in the ebay link..it needs to be heated up a lot to use on curved surfaces like the oil/battery gauge...but with a little time you can mould it and get it to fit no problem.
