3M Dinoc Matte Carbon Dash Wrap - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I personally think it wouldn't look to bad because its different. Talk about an eye catcher. But then again I would prefer the rear thing.

Yeeepp stranger things... I'm considering full plastidip for preservation sake

I got the biggest roll the site I ordered from sold. I'm planning on wrapping my new wheels in it.

I picked up some of the 3m Dinoc for the interior. Gonna bondo the radio opening to fit aftermarket and wrap so it looks stock. Anything that is silver will be wrapped in this too. Next spring, full exterior wrap. Flat black.

I started the process today. Stripped the stock vinyl off, PITA! Chopped up a dash kit and drilled the factory radio brackets to recess the head unit. Epoxied in the dash kit and will start bondo tomorrow. Hopefully start wrapping stuff next weekend.

Good stuff excited to see the results. Your attention to the little things never fails to impress. So strip stock vinyl as in... that carbon look stuff?

digital_assassin · 10-15-2012, 01:23 AM

Yeah, I think others just go over the top of it but since I will be bondoing I wanted a good surface to adhere to. Heat gun is a must and my fingers are charred!

zohare · 10-15-2012, 02:22 AM

Dang man. Again- your work is inspiring. Do it right the first time

I had no Idea that texture was actually a wrap. I planned on doing the dash kit bondo mod when I update the radio.

zohare · 10-15-2012, 11:14 AM

Got a question. Underneath the wrap is it a smooth or textured surface? Assuming a smooth one... could you post a picture by any chance so we know kind what we're working with. Sorry to keep bugging you. So that means the brz silver m is a wrap too huh?

It's super fine texture on the face and smooth at the edges. Wouldn't make an acceptable finish by itself but totally paintable. Wet sand it then paint it and it would be smooth as glass.

Did you have to take the airbag off to get to the steering wheel trim?

Yes. There are three holes you push a screwdriver in on and the bag releases, I just carefully set it up there while I removed the trim. I didn't mess with any of the wires or anything, just left it connected.

Do yourself a favour and pull the fuse for the airbag first. Just in case......
