The entire door handle will be wrapped. That was just for me to practice with the 3m stuff.

Yes. I will likely try to remove the entire door handle to do it 100% right. I might do the pillar but not sure yet. can considering wrapping everything around the window area, the chrome trim and black parts but maybe ill wrap them all black because i have 5% tint and i like the way it all looks like 1 big black part.

If you do wrap the pillar please post up a pic. I just wrapped my center console and was thinking about doing the pillar next. My brother was cleaning the car after 2 feet of snow and scratched up one of the pillars. Thinking this would be a quick but hot fix.

just google 3m carbon fiber vinyl. Then pick what ever website you feel best with. The sample was not free. It was like 8 bucks with free shipping. BTW there is a CL vendor who sells it i think.
