I wrapped around the edges. The only place where I had to trim it was the oen spot in the steering wheel.

Because the dealer had a front bracket on it then screwed the license plate on the bracket. Sucks but someone else's problem now lol I traded it in to get something that's not in the shop multiple times for the same problem.

k i really like this stuff.


not really happy with the red vent handles so i will take that off. also i did a horrible job on the ring around the boot cover.

This was my first time using this stuff at all and i must say... i suggest you wrap some smaller things before attmepting the big stuff in your car first. i wish i did. i started using the extra pieces left over to wrap things like my key and after about the 3rd one i got the hang of it a lot better so i wish i had waited for the car stuff.



as soon as i get some extra cash im getting some more to redo the boot cover and do some other things.

ps.. wraping anything and everything lol...

The 3M Dinoc matte carbon fiber is a great looking product, it looks almost real. Compare that to the not so carbon fiber looking carbon fiber that Toyota put on their and it is night and day.
Did you buy the matte black or gloss black carbon fiber wrap?
