Premium Dash Upgrade Question

So I just ordered a dash out of a GT Premium car (the silver part of the dash, not the entire thing). I was wondering a couple things:

-- Does anybody have install instructions for this? I looked already and couldn't find any.

-- I've heard some people say the dash is authentic aluminum, and others say it is just a sticker. If it's just a sticker, I will probably wrap it or customize it somehow, but I will leave it if it's really metal.

Thanks!

It's a plastic panel coated with a thin veneer of aluminum on one side.

Ok thanks, I guess I will just have to see it when it comes in and decide what I want to do. I'm just so excited that I can't wait!

I ordered it off of eBay, $250 + shipping from this shop, looks like they have a couple GT500 dashes in stock.

Does anybody have install instructions or a diagram or anything on how to take the factory dash panels out? I could just start pulling, but I really don't want to break any tabs.

I'm pretty sure the panel on my 2012 is aluminum. It was dented by a plastic zipper from my daughters book bag. It definitely dented like metal and feels like metal. Some cheap plastic to dent like that lol. I'll post a pic later.
