Have you ever wrapped anything before? I wrapped parts in my old evo with the carbon fiber fabric, and was looking at the 3m stuff, but I am not very good with tint/ vinyl.

first time wrapping something, just took my time, used a hairdryer, very easy to work with, having a second person to cut or hold pieces or you will make your life alot easier and will also allow you to finish the job and make it look perfect.

Here is a couple of cell phone pics that I have, the car is in the body shop right now, but it is enough to give you an idea of what it looks like. When I did the HVAC bezel i also removed the stickers and cut the little holes to the allow the light to shine through. I wanted it to have the "OEM" look to it. This project was not very hard at all to do, just very time consuming. Sorry for the big pictures, I don't know how to re-size them.

make a perfect cut (when i say perfect i dont mean i now how to use a razor blade) you gotta cut it really far on one side so that you have enough to cover that dip and not show the stock piece or wrinkle the material, then after that you gotta apply alot of heat, pulling, patience, and thats it.
