Very impressive.

Does anyone know if the bezels around the gauges just pop off?

how would you go about wrapping around corners? is it that pliable when heated? ie. door handle

Looks awesome! I've been wanting to do something like that on my Tach cover, just wasn't sure how it come apart. I'll definitely have to try now.

Sorry, that's the only DYI I've seen on the tach cover; nothing on the gauge hats.

All I've ever heard about the hats are that they break when you take them off. Easy to put back with double sided tape.

The other gauges faces are part of a plate that spans the tach. I doubt if anyone is going to have success wrapping that - too many complex curves.

If you look closely at the OP's shifter ring, it looks like part of the Di-Noc is not settled - it's pulled-up. That's another tough one to wrap. Apologies if that isn't the case OP.

I purchased the CF covers for the tach, door switches and tops of the gauges from CarbonSignal in the matte finish. So far, I haven't seen any installed pictures of the matte finish, but I'm anxious to see how it looks. WHen I get the pieces installed, I'll post some pictures.

I may start trying to wrap some of the HVAC/radio/nav faceplates this weekend with the Di-Noc.

uhhhh... but his shifter is in neutral.... was he hypermiling then? :icon17:

Kenchan: didnt you wrap your door pieces? did you wrap the vinyl around the plates? I tried this a few months ago and it looked like sh!t. I was considering doing it again but just cutting at the end of the plate, if that makes any sense?

But in the picture of the tach you can see the rpms around 2K and the speedometer about 35mph. Also, you can see the grass blurred in the photo of the hats.

I need to start playing with this stuff. I am always impressed by people's outcomes.
