Probably 72"x36" would do unless this is your first time trying to wrap. If so just add a foot 72"x48" - the longest piece is about 4'X6" so you will be covered. Cost you about $70-$100 tops

Awesome thanks. Really liking the matte finish looks more authentic. Just waiting on some more pics. Did u do yours?

This is the only size these guys have. Price is pretty good too

I got a 2’ by 5’ piece. Seems like it will be plenty.

Any DIY/Tutorial on how to take off the door/dash trims?

Dash trims just pull/lever out. Try the small one on the left to get an idea. Then just disconnect start button and hvac harnesses to remove from car on the big dash piece. You can remove the vents to make it easier to wrap - just a few screws.

Great thread guys. Thank you all for linking the different wraps too.

Question: Once the trim piece is off the car, how do you wrap the vinyl around the existing wood where it meets the silver trim? It's a very small gap and looks like the silver trim is molded to the wood piece so it's hard to separate the two? Or do you just cut the vinyl with a knife and get it to 'roll under' the gap?

BTW, if someone wants an extra full set of F10 or F15 or F16 trims for reasonable prices to try this project, please PM me.

Knifeless Tape is the easiest way to get that line trimmed perfectly straight

I really appreciate the skills and effort required to do this kind of job, after failing to wrap my roof spoiler lol

For me I learned that if you have complex shape - it may not end up as perfect as some skilled wrappers do

after driving in the daytime i realize i dont like it anymore haha. might be the gloss but its kind of blurry/ nauseating when staring at it.

Chigger · 03-20-2018, 08:47 AM

Still thinking about doing this...

Any other members wrapped their interior trims to CF?

alvav · 03-20-2018, 10:53 AM

I’d like to do this but my trim is the textured wood...

Not sure if you can double-wrap the textured wood? (base-layer and the CF on top?)

Sorry to revive this but how the 5D holding up? What brand 5D? Did you originally do the Vvivid?

I def prefer the gloss... just want to make sure to go with the best option.

Please chime in with your personal experience.
