What he said. The rest looks great though.

Did you wrap it yourself or did you have it professionally done?

Well i looked at the vinyl he used and it looks kinda hard to apply

I order 4 feet of it going to try it out! My plastic is all messed up and this will be a cheap easy fix for it plus it will look nicer anyways

If you saw it in person you definitely wouldn't say that. It rounds out the interior perfectly along with the center console and door handles. Trust me.

How exactly is this done, is the vinyl sticky on one side and you just cut pieces to fit or are you removing each piece and doing them one at a time. I really want to do this.
I pulled all of the pieces out of the car that I was to cover and I cut the CF to match the panels. Then I went to town with a heat gun, razor blade and patience.

Yankees FTW! Love it bro. Do mine. Lmk if you could and how much. Im local
PMed!

Guessing you had to redo the ashtray since the weaves aren't going the same way in this pic but are in the others.
haha Good eye!

where did you get the material?
eBay

Did you wrap it yourself or did you have it professionally done?
All by myself on my dining room table!

Gives what away?

Truth

Was it easy install like peel the back off and stick it right on?
It's a bit more complicated than that with the curves, corners, etc.

just was wondering on how you do the corners?? do you cut a slit in the corner to have the pieces meet or did you just fold it around and tuck the rest behind? looks sick tho. if you have any pics of the back of the pieces that would help too, thanks.

I cut a slit and folded back.



I also used isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber towel to prep each piece before applying the film btw

I'm a perfectionist and it took me a few hours or so.
