Ok so I downloaded the PB app. All is done except for the steering which I believe requires different tools than I have. The center was quite challenging to wrap and I made two mistakes, but they are not noticeable. The shifter knob I did twice, but looks perfect!

WOW! That looks awesome! Even better than I imagined it would look! Wow! Just wow!
I'm definately doing this in my car! Getting rid of that matte cheap looking Graphite metallic trim. I just hope it sticks good enough. The wood trim has that gloss clear coat surface, and I imagine the wrap would stick better on that, than the matte surfaces in my car. But I don't know before I've tried. And now I have to, it looks damn awesome!

Your matte finish should provide better adhesion than the gloss. Either way, the key to good adhesion is a very clean surface.

Helihover I like the way the CF eliminated the third color on the dash and tied to the door handle, looks good!

Looking great! I am keeping the wood temporarily but someday will swap to Titan 2 trims. I'm with BC, the tri tone on the interior when wood is present doesn't do it for me

The upper and lower steering wheel pieces are easy to remove. If I remember correctly all you will need a phillips screwdriver, a regular screwdriver and perhaps a torx bit and the instructions for removing the air bag. Easy and short process.

I've read two different ways of removing and I think I need a long t15 driver or 20. Anyway, I was able to remove two screws on the lower portion and that was about it. Any help on how to remove the steering wheel trim would be greatly appreciated.
