Hey guys, I'm looking to dress up my Z a little bit and I'm wondering if there is a good way to wrap the panel that has the window switches etc.? I'll be working with some 3M wrap.


Not my car, but rather some random one I found on google image just for reference.



My concern is getting it to look good around the handle part, and if anybody has done this before? I have a DB 05 and wanting to do a bit of white on the inside.

 

Not sure what you are asking but small pieces are fairly easy. Started wrapping my cars last month, pic of wrapped trim in my X.

 

Looks good man!

I'm talking about the part on the door that has your window switches and lock switches in front of your doors arm rest.

 

You have 2 choices:

1. Cut 2 slits so the vinyl will lay into the groove where the switches are.
2. Cut a small piece that fits into the switch grooves perfectly.

The entire panel is very easy to wrap.

 

What about the cubby hole part you grab on to while closing that door? That is the part I find most complicated.

 

You can try to stretch the vinyl in there but it probably wouldn't come out looking nice. You may have some stretch marks in the end, I would just cut around the edge or use a 2nd piece to cover the hole.

 

I just wrapped mine yesterday, the area you're talking about is not that hard, just make sure you heat the vinyl as you work it down in to the corners.
The 3m 1080 vinyl holds its shape very well around bends like that, heres a pic of the area you're talking about.

 

Awesome, thats what I like to hear.

Now if only it would get above 20 degrees and I could get some time away from work. I'm going to do mine in white

 

Im looking to do the same panels red to match the nismo seats and red stitching in the leather on the door. My question is which color red will match. Couldn't find from searching.
