I was thinking of wrapping my car, but I decided to attempt my interior parts too... Heres a start of what I'm doing. I'll be able to take a few more pics tomorrow when its light out. What do you think?

Reason: Bad pic Links
If you go to the size dropdown, the 48x12 doesn't add price, so i got it for $10. I just used a heat gun and took my time. It actually wasn't very hard for the most part. I'm probably going to buy two more packages just to have because its so cheap

Reason: added info
I just took a couple of measurements and I am wondering if you can get away with a 12" wide piece to do the center console pieces. Granted mine is a 96 so the interior is quite a bit different. How stretchy is the vinyl when you heat it?
It looks like the same stuff I'm using if it is. It does have some stretch. But at the same time you don't want to stretch it a lot or the carbon fiber look gets distorted.

You can stretch it, but i dunno about the whole thing. Its better for just around corners. You might be able do it horizontally because the pattern hides seams really well if you line up the pattern. I did it just to see earlier with scraps I had.
Thanks for sharing, I love this. Have you had any issues yet with any of the pieces reinstalling? (especially the horn buttons)
Thanks. Not yet. It took like 10 mins/ horn button to put on so it was fast and pretty easy. I heated them up to put them on, so they were pretty hot. Its about 25 degrees outside now and they didn't shrink or anything or sit funny either.
Ignore the cracked screen, haha thats next project. I ran out of vinyl so i'll need to do the lower part once I get more in a week or so. Im personally very pleased, it exceeded my expectations.
