Dude that's siick! I already have my door panel out for a speaker install. Can you post a DIY? Where do you get the 3m stuff and how much? How did you get all the crevices of the window switch and did you have to take apart the buttons themselves to get it to be that clean? Lemme know soon please!! Thanks.

un plug wire harness....make sure door is closed b4 u remove the wire harness...

clean entire switch plate.....
take the vinyl and wrap the plate....take your time....make sure everything is centered so the weave is strait when done....

did you have to pop the switches out to get it on really good? i can't think of a way to do it without taking the power mirror switch out....

Wow, I can't believe this stuff wasn't discovered earlier. Its great. I am going to wrap everything in it. Just be careful. It will fade in the sun. It only has a 3 year sun rating.

How in the hell does someone break a b pillar doing a windshield replacement? do you mean the a pillar cover?

I wonder if I can throw some clear coat on top of this?

TongMan · 06-28-2010, 07:17 PM

I'm looking to do this very soon. I'll be wrapping my b-pillars, side mirrors, front fangs, rear valence, and some interior parts.

Want some fun?... Try wrapping the shift ring.
3 tries for me before I had it down finally.
