Interior Trim Wrap
Since I got my car, I always hated the wood finish. So I wanted to change it , new set of trim costs around 2k, used 1k on ebay.
So I decided to wrap it, it cost me $60.
First 2 tries was fail. I got it right on the 3rd time. I have never wrapped anything before.
Now I will move on to wrapping the door trims. I will keep you guys updated with pictures.
What do you guys think?

Good job. What a transformation. You also saved thousands of $$$. I love the new colour. Well done.

Looks great! I'm considering doing this for the center console (ugly piano / scratches) and door panels (starting to show edge wear, water damage?) as well.

Where'd you get the vinyl wrap?

I wanted to wait and see how vinyl perform before I moved onto the door trims, this is what happen in after 24 hours.
This is the vinyl:
Link Link
Can anyone tell me why this happen?
Over stretched?
Bad quality vinyl?
Dirty surface?
what should I do?
