    Looks great. Anybody want to see if we can get a group buy?

    Depends on the price. I'm not sure if a group buy would be completely effective either, since they would have to make different parts for each person depending on their car's options, facelift vs pre-facelift, square buttons vs rounded, and so on.

    Here's the process to wrap stuff in 3m Dioc CF vinyl.




    - Clean the part with alcohol

    - Cut di-noc to size

    - Stick it on top the part

    - Using a heat gun or blow dryer apply heat to define edges

    - Do a rough cut

    - Cut carefully


    You're done and install part.

    That's a nice write up! Was it hard to get the wrap to go around the shifter and the cup holder lid?

    No it was pretty easy, you just have to be careful how and where you cut. I used a dull table knife to get it to fold into the leather, you have to heat up the di-noc a bit first but don't stretch it, when your interior heats up, it will retract and bubble up if you do.
