Bro , I was just trying to help you figure things out. This thing got so confusing that I felt the need to over elaborate and answer on what seamed to be fairly simple from the beginning. My bad ,,,,,I guess!

Oopsie, I went back and read the post on matt and gloss again. I misunderstood. I read it as if matt and glossy CF vinyl had different adhesive characteristics. I knew that did make sense.

Did I mention I forget most of what I read?

Did not intend to be offensive- I apologize.

Well guys, it's officially a wrap.

I want to say thanks again for everyone's help. There is truly a great wealth of knowledge on this forum!

Between TMV's and Bcredliner's post and a little pre med, I was able to pull my steering trim in about two minutes.

Here's a long shot...... Admranger, if you pull your trim and send it to me along with the wrap, pay for shipping back, then I will wrap it for you at no charge.





I know, I know..... Please don't knock my steering wheel cover. A restore is in the future.

Mighty generous of you, Helihover! Now I have no reason not to pull the trim (except for a week long vacation coming up next week... ).

Let's see how the next few weeks go. If I can get some other things done off my to do list, I'm more than happy to take you up on the offer. What might be better though is to get coached through it (or have a lifeline to call when I get stuck/frustrated).

This place never ceases to amaze me with people who are willing to help.

Nice! That steering wheel trim really shows how flexible the wrap is, as well as your skills in doing this. Great work!

I did the back of my black iphone with the CF plus a black bumper. I like it.
