How hard is it to do? Is this stuff like vinyl wrap that you need to heat up and stretch? Do you need to apply any glue or anything?

its rather simple. no heat required. Just spray the parts you want to wrap with adhesive then pull and wrap the fabric/cloth around the trim.

i actually will probably sell these. As awesome as these look in person and in the pics, I dont think I want to do any CF to my car.

but people said we need to put resin with the polyamine hardener first to the part u wanna cover, and also a layer after the CF being sticked? is that true?
or as your own way... adhesive is the only thing u use??
bs, a stupid qs. anyone has done this to the rims? is it possible??lol

Looking good, I keep thinking about doing the same after seeing all these photos from yourself and Wes. I would want to do the center console though as well and thats the part I am worried about wrapping with the cloth.
