Thanks guys for all the nice comments. I'm noticed a small bubble on my plastic behind my interior door handles. I saw a post where people were panting them. Guess what's getting wrapped next! The problem is I would have to remove the whole door panel so that I could take the handle out so I have access to the back. I might just do the back sub cover as well. I would totally do the back sub cover if I had a convertible. It would look sharp and would be much cheaper than the real carbon fiber. Besides if you stopped liking the carbon fiber look you peel it off, and these vinyls have a backed 8 year outdoor warranty which is insane!
No problem bring it. PM me and we can work something out. I have extra material left overWhat do I think? I think I want you to do mine!
Very nice...
I've seen red but red and black might be too busy especially with the weave pattern as well could be too distracting. I think you made a good decision by going black. Just the red is pretty bright as well.

Liked yours so much i just ordered enough to do console, shifter bezel, and both doors....I have a vert and I think you are correct in saying it will look sharp....well only if I have half the application skill that you do.
I'm sure it will look great! I was taking off the door as well just a little while ago. I don't have time tonight but I will attempt it again soon. I forgot about that stupid clip that holds the door panel on I can't remember if I'm supposed to pull towards the inside of the car or push in towards the outside of the car from the bottom. I can see it, just can't make it budge. Stupid dodge made that door panel one piece, WHY I tell ya WHY!!!!Thinking about doing my rear speaker panel. the full piece.

Hey Kevin. Knowing what you know now about wrapping the console, do you think this material could be wrapped around the gauge cluster too? The other parts you've done are more flat, except in the gauge area for example. If you think so, I think I'm sold on trying it since those pieces are coming out soon for a LED bulb swap.

I cant recall the correct way to release the panel from this pin. I do remember reading about it in here though, so the answer is in one of these threads. As for the rear speaker panel, I think it will look great wrapped! Once I get through these projects, i think I might have a go at the speaker panel. If you get yours done first, post some pics, i would love to see it.
I think it's doable I can't remember how deep the gauge circles go. But they are larger in diameter so I think it's possible. Although with all those creases and turns you will need 3m primer on some of the edges to keep it down. The reason why I didn't do that large piece cause it would be too busy if you did that whole piece with the pieces that I have already done IMO.

AbsoulteHank I take that back after looking at it in detail you will have to do separate pieces to accomplish the whole dash. The difficult pieces will be the mph on the right cause the frame is angled and goes in deep. The other two triangles on top where the signals/check engine light is will be extremely difficult and might have to be avoided.AbsolutHank

Ok, thanks. I'll check it out a little closer once I have it all out doing the LED bulb swap. I'm going to do the console since the main problem areas I'll be able to avoid with my MGW pieces.

Where did you buy the 1080 vinyl...eBay? I'm assuming this is the black carbon right? What size did you have to buy cover the console?

Cool...I guess I missed it. I ordered it through their eBay store by coincidence anyways!

Nice! Good reviews of their product. Im still waiting on mine to arrive. Cant wait.
With the 2'x5', you can mess up on 1 of the 2 panels and still have enough to redo. It's plenty of material.
I ended up doing each peice 3 times to get it right and practice. It's not easy and it requires a lot of patience. I agree with ZZ SRT, but I got 5'x8' so that I could wrap other things.

Well I've done a lot of vinyl in my life so I'm familiar with installing it. I also have MGW gauge surrounds and cup holder which will help hide those problem areas too

Haha...I bought the MGW guage surrounds and cup holder as well. I havent wrapped anything before, so Im sure I will need them.
The only difficult part is getting the vinyl to stretch into the gauge surrounds without ripping. If you have the MGW bezels, it'll be a cinch. I bought the 2'x5' and have half the material sitting in my garage now.
The ironic part is that I had to take everything apart again to do my LED gauge lights so I decided to paint the pieces gloss black to make it permanent. Guess that was a waste of $30, but at least I got to verify I liked the gloss black before making it permanent.
I can do the gauges it requires patience and heat. The cup holder is the only part that can't be done as one piece.
Guys post up your pictures after your done.

Everything arrived today...I'm gonna tackle this tomorrow hopefully!
I saw your thread. I am tackling my door panels.
Apparently someone does make it, not as OEM replacement but still, it is supposedly real CF and it is red, LOL.
