Wrap?


From the pics it looks like you took your time and did a pretty nice job. Not exactly my style, but I can appreciate the effort and concentration that comes with working with vinyl. Nice job.


P.S. You missed the vent to the left of the nav! :-P

Mice touch, but IMO too much effort and a matte look WICH doesn't complement the rest of the shiny items,but as above appreciate the attention to doing a good job, I was lazy and simply hydro printed mine lol

Thank you both, yes it took half an hour for each vent, but the final product looks perfect.

Gen8,
I like the shiney look, and I also tried to put some lacquer on the vinyl, but didn't like the final result. - I now see that 3M got A glossy version, I will try it on the main console and I will see the result
I wish I could hydro print them.... I know only one place in my country that do that and I am afraid to ask what they will charge me.

Which country? Your profile doesn't say.
