Looks sweet! Now just do something with that wood piece around the stereo.

Thought I would leave that piece as like an accent piece. No?:supergay:

so you wrapped everything? Good job My Friend.

Yes. This 3m vinyl is so easy to work with. Hairdryer to soften it and it is like melting it on

One warning about the carbon fiber graphics. It has a tendency to discolor with the heat of the sun. I did this in my 86 Monte Carlo SS, was fine for first year, but is now discolored (did this 3 years ago).

Looks great, though! You did a great job!!

I'm hoping my 5% tint will help eliminate that. Did you use the high end 3M vinyl?

Very nice, Sweet_N_Low!

Never have figured out why the car companies think that out-of-place 1950s fake wood trim fits in with a modern vehicle. :emotions122:

Mine is the darker shade of the 'wood grain' as opposed to that redish stuff in many of the newer ones so it doesn't look AS bad but I rend to agree with you...
