Default Anyone wrapped their dashboard trim?

Hi guys,

I've got a black interior with black trim

Has anyone wrapped their trim? I'd love to have some light matte wood.

Just I'm not too sure if the silver moldings can be removed from the trim in order to wrap it properly?

Any feedback is welcome

Cheers
Rod

I have seen people on here do it in place and remove it to wrap. Seems like a lot of work to remove the trim from the panels since it would require you to pop all four panels to get to the screws and also disassemble parts of your dash to get to the screws on the back of the dash trim.

In order to access the trim on the dash (in front of the passenger seat), the glove box has to be removed, which also involves removing the knee airbag. The trim on the doors require removing the whole door panel from what I've heard.

The other silver trim is removable, it has screws that will seperate it from the whole panel

Thank you, DezzyPelps! this pic helps!

However I found a nice video on youtube:

If I look at it... I wouldn't even remove the trim from it's place

Cutting with a Razor on the dash I don't think so, one slip of hand and you'll have a design for rest of the life.

So use light pressure, follow the seam which is a deep groove, come on its a no brainer...
