Wrapping interior

How hard is it to wrap the stock dash trim with vinyl wrap. Looking at wrapping mine and was wondering how much it is to wrap it. Im guessing the radio trim is the hardest part how did the people who wrap their interior do the radio part?

right... or just think hard before you make a decision and do it right once!

but yea seriously if you wrap it it shouldn't be too hard, as long as the wrap you're using is really flex and u use a heat gun

Just finished wrapping the interior for a friend of mine that has an SS...

It's not to hard to do, just have to have patience and you HAVE to use a heat gun/hair dryer.

Just be careful with a heat gun around the plastic. It doesn't take much heat for the vinyl wrap. And it shouldn't be that hard either.
