Dash Trim Vinyl Wrap

I've been seeing a lot of guys on instagram and the forums go with some sort of carbon fiber vinyl wrap for their upper dashboard trim so I thought I would be a little bit different. I decided to go with a red digital camo wrap from ebay. It only cost me $20 for a 12" x 48" sheet and I installed it myself. I was very pleased with how it turned out, although I did make a few mistakes. Feel free to show the world what you did with your trim!

And yes I am aware of the extra piece hanging on my steering wheel I put it there because I was cleaning out my car when I took this picture and forgot about it lol

Nope, Just The Wrap Itself And A Rubber Scraper To Get The Air Bubbles Out.

The Easiest Piece Was The Passenger Side Trim, But As I Moved Towards The STeering Wheel (Radio,And Trim On Each Side Of The Wheel), The Pieces Became More Angular And Intricate, Which Made The Wrapping Process Way Harder. I Did It Myself And It Took Probably 3 Hours. And ThankYou All! It's Good To See My Hard Work Be Appreciated!

yea doesn't look half bad man, and i know how it is to do the wrap yourself and try to get it perfect. i'd say mine is 95% perfect but the imperfections are in areas you can't see... i did mine in 3D CF vinyl thou

I wish I could have wrapped the stems of the steering wheel but since I've got the SS/SC there are too many control buttons to even bother

Yeah I chose my color based on the red leather inserts on my seats. I still love the red though. I could've chosen any color that I wanted if i had an all black leather interior, but i still probably would've chosen red because I love the red/black color combination lol
