Has anyone attempted or completed a vinyl wrap on a radio surround console?
If so, how hard is it, and how did it turn out?
have a spare console that I'll try it on if anyone can share a DIY

Thanks

After doing my Roof and Halo with CF wrap, I looked at doing mine...
I attempted to do my Z06 spoiler and decided the CF wrap was just not meant to go everywhere.
The radio would look good, but real CF would look even better.

You may be correct, but there are other wraps besides CF that I might entertain.
Like I mentioned, it's a spare console, so nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I have wrapped my ZR1 (replica) spoiler, side skirts, and radio surround.... the worst by far was the radio surround. Its do-able, but you def need two people and constant heat to get the vinyl to move the way you want it to.

A headache... yes. Did it improve the look of the interior hells yes. Would I do it again with vinyl... IIIIIIiiiiii dunno bout that. haha
