The leather was left over from my "http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/50640-%247-custom-leather-interior.html".

I dry fitted the ribbon/leather strip around the insert while still in the car, then used masking tape to hold it in the correct position. I then removed the insert, pulled the leather off and stitched it on.
Another added benefit of using the ribbon is that it allowed me to stitch it further back on the insert so that if I decide to remove it or sell the car someday, the stitch holes will not be seen.
That is 1 rule I stick to with my mods: they are all 100% reversible
