DIY - Anyone ever wrap your automobile interior trim?
I'm going to do this - I have a little experience with a heat gun and shaping material that's similar in nature to this. Unfortunately my car has that awful cherry wood-grain paneling throughout the doors and dashboard - I'm planning on doing this soon. .....Anyone ever do this?

My carbon fiber hood is being painted currently at a collision center - so once I get her back - I'll do this. Seems pretty basic.

I'm also going to swap my engine start button to the red variety and as well as getting the red 'M' insert for the steering wheel - oh additionally I'm going to wrap my steering wheel trim.

oh nice - I will try to post before and after photos. I'm still a month from beginning - as I just dropped $1,200 on body paint - I got my carbon fiber vents painted black - as well as the lip and hood - the hood was already black but started showing minor stress - so got everything done at once - the vents on the hood and the lip were both woven CF in a charcoal color - now it will be all black - it's not ready yet - I'm car-less still for most of this week.

Did this on my BMW M3 a few years back before I sold it. My brother runs a signage shop and does vehicle wraps including trim and paint replacements. He used carbon fiber vinyl on mine and it looked pretty incredible. Impossible to distinguish from the real thing.

Most recently ive used the Brushed Black Metallic. Looks killer. Doesn't look good with the clear though lol.
I like that Satin Key West... but it would not go with the red on my Malibu.

I'll be honest - I'm EASILY the most concerned w/ the steering wheel trim as well as the console. I did see you can remove that round knob - i-drive or whatever it's called. That's good to see. but still - the disassembly won't be fun - same w/ the wheel - I'll have to remove the airbag.

For 8-900 you can have actual carbon/clear over factory parts done. You have a nice car, don’t half ass it.

Oh I see - so you did more than the simple trim - you did a lot of the body of the interior too?

I covered everything that was fake woodgrain or plain black plastic.

The console was only hard because I had to take it off and I wasn't sure where all of the screws were. The way it was made let me be able to do the wrap in separate pieces with hidden seams, so my stretching and bending were kept to a minimum there.
