Thank you! The only high use areas are the door handles, and everything is holding up great. We have had heat indexes in the 100's for almost two weeks, and the wrap was not affected at all by the heat. The 3M Di-Noc stuff is so durable. The material seems almost too stiff to work with at first, but then as you work the material and heat it up, it becomes really easy to work with. When it cools it stiffens right back up again, but in the shape you molded it to.

Have you thought about wrapping the plastic around the window switches? I think it would be a nice touch but I'm not sure if they will come out easily or not.

I thought about that, as well as doing the plastic around the door pull handle, but I couldn't get either off and I didn't want to break something.

Yep me either..I've gotta wrap the radio piece like you did. I also wrapped the silver piece around the base of the shifter. It kills some contrast but the shape of that piece gives it a cool 3d effect.

Thanks man! The vinyl is way better quality than the fabric. I know 3 people in STL that have the fabric, and it eventually starts to peel around the edges. The fabric is easier to damage and doesn't "wear" very well. The vinyl is extremely durable. It almost seems like it will be hard to work with at first, because it is really thick, but it isn't bad at all, especially when a little bit of heat is applied. The Di-Noc stuff is known to be almost permanent, so don't put it on anything that you eventually want to take it off of.

Ohhhh, I see, you left the black plastic around the shift boot, but wrapped the aluminum. The other reason I left the aluminum exposed and wrapped the black part around the shift boot, was because I planned on doing pedals. See below...

I also got black carbon fiber overlays for the roundel.

That's coming together pretty nicely. I have some aluminum pedals as well I just didn't feel that great about the silver plastic against the carbon around the shifter. It looks much better on yours since you wrapped the flat black piece on top of the silver though. The nice thing about this carbon vinyl is that it will be super easy to reverse if I ever get tired of it.
