Brushed Metallic Black Interior (almost) Complete!
I decided to vinyl wrap parts of my interior trim from the original brushed aluminum to brushed metallic black that I found on amazon. So far I completed the trim around the shift ****, ashtray, and trim around the center clock. Check it out!
Before (of course I forgot to take a before picture but here's a stock image of how it looked before):
After:
I would like to mention that this is my first time doing anything like this and I am really happy with how it came out. I should also add that by (almost) complete, I mean that I will also be wrapping the remaining aluminum trim pieces on the door panels, etc.
that looks great! thanks for sharing. did you remove the trim pieces? Or just lay it in place. how difficult was it? does it look oem?
Yes, I removed the trim pieces! It wasn't difficult it was just very tedious when wrapping around the small holes and bottom portion of the shift ****. However, with a lot of heat and patience, it came out beautifully. I think it looks OEM, I believe no one (except G owners) would be able to tell that it was even wrapped because of the look and feel.
That is exactly the same as what I did. I wrapped everything in the center console, including the shifter, the trim around the base of shifter. I recommend you use the 3M pen on the cubby door, ash-tray thing. The corner of that will pull up if you don't use the pen and heat the wrap well.

I saw your post before and honestly it motivated me to do this! Are you talking about the 3M Primer Pen? Do you mean the corners facing the driver/ passenger seats?
Looks most excellent MVX!
thanks for the link as well. I might have to try this myself.
How long did it take you to do each piece?
Was it easy to remove the pieces? did you find a tutorial somewhere for removing the pieces?

Hey that looks pretty nice, especially with the Carsmo *****. I think it would be too much black without them. Looks like a good project to do while wasting time sitting in front of the tv.
