Default Wrapped some parts in 3M Di-Noc

Well, as my car sits in the garage, I figured I may as well take the opportunity to mess around with some Di-Noc I bought a while back. This stuff is awesome, but impossible to work without a heat gun lol.

(Note this, was before I painted my dash/rest of my center console see here: http://my.is/forums/f90/freshly-pain...inside-435710/)











Did my buddy's Mugen mirrors for his Civic too

Thanks guys. There's not much to the stuff, as long as you have a heat gun (not a hair dryer, but a real heat gun) the material gets super soft and malleable. Next time I wrap something, I'll try to document the process as good as I can. Post up pictures of your mirrors and roof, I want to do mine, but I don't know how well the mirrors would turn out. Curves are hard to do without crimping the wrap.

Looks good, for some reason I was having a hard time wrapping my driver side switch. Do you have any close up pics of yours? Thanks in advance.

Woah! That looks really good. I'd love to wrap the melting parts of my dash in cf.

Hahaha thanks guys, if you buy the material I'd glady wrap anything reasonable (not like a shift **** or something impossible lol). I'm gonna tackle my roof soon. I'll post up results afterwards.
