Jdm- Instead of cutting the edges smooth I wrapped the excess up under neath it so hopefully will help it from peeling. But I only paid 12 bucks for he 48" x 24" of wrap.

Thanks Blue!

I started to do the waterfall section and it wasn't working so going to watch some videos and find out the little tricks to it and give it another try on Sunday probably.

^ Yep. I was real close to buying an enthusiast steering wheel last week and then decided to let that wait until one of the last few things I do lol. Trying to save my pennies up for 4.08 gears and some other small things.


Some more pics from wrapping today:

The wrap looks great!!

Is it hard to do? How do you make the curves? Heat?

The door switch covers and air vent areas weren't hard. I did a quick attempt at the center console and got frustrated.. lol. Going to try again in a couple days. And no I didn't use any heat on what I did today

That red piping thing actually looks quite nice - it flows with the nismo seats

So i have the opportunity to get the 3.91 FD kit at the same price as the 4.08 FD... which do you think will suit my car better? I am revving to ~7900 i believe..

Also, got a couple better pictures of the interior

^^ i am having now 3.9 FD in my M35X (OEM) my cruising speed 60MPH-and i hit 2.5K RPM ! which is i consider high.. so if you will go for 4.08 you will hit 2.7+K in 60mph which will be not practical for daily use.

go for the 3.9

Just curious - how did you take your interior pieces out for wrapping?
