the more i look at this thread the more i like what i see. was there any method to keep the angles matching or was it just eyeballed?
i may be the next one to jump on this bandwagon. i love the wood, but the black on black on black looks sexy.

Finally finished the rest of the interior trim. I tried to take the panel off but it was extremely difficult to try and take the window control unit out so i decided to put it back in and just vinyl over it.

@M_L yes it is possible for the Door Panels but I would recommend taking out the central console because the vinyl willl secure better. Its really not that difficult taking out the center consoles. If you need help and info, im sure that everybody on this forum will be glad to help.

Well I would say i used....... about 6? I ordered a 10sft and i have plenty left over I messed up twice on the door trims. I didnt order the 3m Di-noc i used the one from Ijdmtoy and it arrived in 3 days.

It looks good and you can heat shrink it and it wont shrivel up. and with the extra you can go around vinyl wrapping anything, haha i have enough to wrap my 14" laptop twice haha

hey, next guy to do this and post pics, post some of the vinyl before you apply it....that's the part that's stopping me: cutting it the right size/shape.

Nah, you don't have to. Just don't put the key in the ignition if you are going to disconnect any electronics.
