Default Christmas "Wrapping"

Took a little time during the Christmas break to wrap some of the silver and simulated carbon fiber plastic with 3M 1080 Matte Red Metallic. Steering wheel trim, sides of center console, glovebox trim, and dash horizontal blade trim.

It took about 2-3 hours I guess. It's not difficult, although it takes a bit of patience and finesse. Watch youtube wrapping to get the idea. Every piece wrapped was taken off the vehicle - I don't think one could do a good job wrapping without removing the part first.

The parts come off pretty easily, if you need help figuring out how to get a part off let me know and I can provide some instructions, I took a few pics along the way.

Attached are photos/notes. Several photos were taken during the first piece, but apparently I got lazy/forgetful and have only a few photos of the other pieces. Hopefully this helps.
