Glad I came across this thread. Need to do something with my interior and this might be my route. Mind me asking how much your installer charged to wrap those pieces?

Who are you asking?

If me, then I did all the wrapping myself. The only thing I had someone else do was the orange double stitch. For the four pieces it cost me like $50 (a lot for some stitching but I liked the guy and like to support local business). I got the Scotchprint from metrorestyling (check their site for price), enough primer 94 to do like 20 of these for like $12, spray adhesive for~$10 at Home Depot, and the suede I had leftover from some other projects (you can find it on sale for $10-15 a yard).

I've done these wraps for other members before. So PM me if you want any tips.

Default Nice!

That looks really good! Did you ever have any issues with it coming off on the edges or anything? Also, did you just heat for the tight places like under the window button or did you use glue also?

How did you get the area under the switches to stick? The round area, mine came out ok, but that area was a bi#ch.

Did you pop the switches out? You have to cut a small piece that will fit in there perfectly.

I used primer on all edges. The only place where it was coming off was the round section of the displays. I will have to redo those.

I did, but then I heated up that area, stretched it down and tried to make it stick. It stuck but it's all bubbly because I think I over stretched. So you actually used a small piece and put it in there, makes sense.

I'll try to fix that part, thnx.

How much of the 3m did you guys buy for the center section (waterfall?), around the door vents, and around the door switches? I'm really wanting to do this, but I want to know that I'm getting everything I need to make it happen.

60 x 40 should be more than enough

Alright, thank you! Did you also use the primer or whatever when wrapping the interior?

Alright cool. Thanks for the input. Hopefully I'll get started on this project within the next couple weeks.

That will be plenty. Even enough to cover for a mistake or two.
