this is what I purchased:
www.etsy.com/listing/1035943005
the dash kinda grips onto it. I had box cutters, sizzors, and some patience. I’m gunna see how well it does without adhesive because it seems to be holding on by itself just find. And it could easily be removed without damaging it. So I’m happy. It’s holding its self. The angles and bends were a bit tough but in the end- I think it looks wonderful - I will update this if I need to modify anything
i have the applicator in the truck in a corner on the left helping it shape to the curve because of how I cut it but I can always start again. I have tons of extra.
(I also fixedit and cleaned it up especially this bottom corner so it looks much better now but this is just to illustrate what I mean by applicator)

This is fairly subtle and tasteful.
Inexpensive and fairly easy to install.
Like you said, it could be pulled out, even with adhesive, when you sell it or do not like it as much.
I like it, but do not love it, but I tend to be a factory original guy, not into mods much.
Gives it a nice personal touch though.

I like it, I did something similar in my current vehicle while bored and still waiting on my Maverick. I purchased mine on Amazon, but my seller doesn't have The XLT orange. It does take a little patience. The secret for the bends is cutting the back side. Here is a very short video of installation for anyone interested.

I like it! It ties in with the other orange accents really nicely, without being too much! I'd like to try this when I take delivery of my Maverick!Before:

I just bought the steering wheel wrap that has a thin orange pinstripe going around it. Another member recommended that and it looks great!
