Thanks for the reply. Did you use spray adhesive and how difficult was it to get it lined up properly? I'm asking because I have been sitting on the eBay inserts for a long time now, was kind of worried about messing it up. I already did the armrests and console with the Insight leather parts.

Nope, I just used the tape included.

for how I did it,

-Pull panel, remove all screws, remove silver bar trim piece, and release all tabs. The plastic welded tabs can be left as is.

-Align "leather" (stitching should roughly align with factory stitching) to make sure you will have full coverage with extra for tucking under all corners.

-Tuck the pleather under the top door handle trim (red line in pic) and confirm coverage/alignment.

-Apply tape (like in the install youtube vid) and pull leather tight to get a nice, smooth, wrinkle free surface.

-Finish tucking pleather (right side and left side).

*parts under silver trim and arm rest basically tuck themselves on re-attachment.

-You may need to trim some of the extra pleather at the bottom as it can get in the way of the tabs when re-attaching the arm rest.

Mine didn't come with any instructions or tape! I'll order some 3M tape. Thanks again!

That's a huge overshoot of the target. 37 psi? Wow.
Naaa it's good. The ECU can only target that much, no matter how much you plug into a graph. You'll see this on anyone running over 32psi.

Auto-Dim rearview mirror installed. Drained the battery in the process, so now trickle charging it back up. May need a new battery, it always seems to discharge too quick and take forever to get to a full charge.

If it's the factory battery I'm not surprised
