Interior Wrap

[afmoose7]

i was thinking about custom interior for my new turbo sedan before i go into dropping huge amounts on new bottom/top end and i dont wanna paint...so i was looking at this stuff....http://xotic-vehicles.tripod.com/...its a vinyl wrap i think...and i was just gonna take it to a shop and have it done cuz i dont feel like messin with it...also...does anyone kno about taking your dash off? i heard dont do it cuz it will never be the same (squeak and stuff)

so what is the stuff? a big sticker. how would you work it around contours without folded spots or bubbles?

if its vinyl, youre better off letting the professionals do it, i did mine on my sedan the doors and dash a while back and man.. let me tell you it is a pain, i did it following instructions iven to me by a friend that does it for a living and used his tools, and well it wasnt easy

you will need a steamer, the fabric, glue and lots and lots of patience. (I wouldnt do this myself ever again) it is so damn hard to get the corners right, prevent bubbles and making sure the vinyl doesnt look stretched to shit.

taking the dash off is not an easy task either he he, youll have to drop the steering column and watch out for the airbag lol, i managed to get mine off and back on but it was a bitch.

bottom line: do it right, take it to someone who knows what they are doing unless you can spare the no car downtime and or the loads of money lol, its a great experience and you can learn to do the work yourself, which is almost priceless!

dude this seems like to0 much of a pain in the ass with very little gain, just do accents with a spray on the door handles etc. it would be so much easier and way cheaper
