I arrived home and my wife baking some chicken. It just came to me at that moment so I went back to my car and pulled out the spanner wrenches stored in a bag in my car. She just finished so I placed the wrenches in the oven and increased the temperature to 500*. This mod took me about 15 minutes once it reached the desired temp.

This will also be on the DIY thread.

Bake your spanner wrench in 500* oven for 10 minutes.

Take out of oven and tie a piece of wire to pull it off later.
Place your hot wrench at your desired spot.
Use appropriate tool or utensil to press your wrench into the foam block.
Press your hot wrench into the block until the wrench has reached the desired depth.
Make sure it is evenly laid across.

Using the attached wire, pull off the wrench from the block.
There will be melted foam stuck on the wrench. Do not scrape it off. Leave it alone and let it cool down. It will peel off on its own once it cools down.

Repeat process for your 2nd spanner wrench.

Here is how it looks once you complete both. But wait you are not done yet!

Heat a piece of spoon and place it on desired spot to create an area where you can stick your finger and pull your wrench off the block.
Press the hot spoon until you reach desired depth. Again, there will be melted foam stuck on the spoon. Do not scrape it off. Leave it alone and let it cool down. It will peel off on its own once it cools down.

Peel off the foam from your wrench and place it onto the chosen spot and admire your great work!

Here's how it looks while in the kitchen.

In the car. Looks good to me. You can place it anywhere you want. I decided to have it on the left side. I have plans for the top right side.
