Wrapped my dash trim - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Yea, hear your comments on the color being too much. That's what's fun about the car. You can make it your own. There are already a fair number of mods for the car in its first year, with a limited production run. I think we'll see more.

Besides, one good thing about this color -- wife doesn't want to drive it any more. (Ha, Ha)

get those AC/Heater vent bezels wrapped too! You can pop those out pretty easily as well. Just wrapped mine all Brushed Black Metal.

Close/medium distance pics if u can? Id be interested how this looks

Here's some close-ups. This is pretty good of the red. But the pic is not picking up the subtle metallic. Maybe I can get a better pic later.

I think the 1080 silver carbon fiber wrap (I think its called anthracite) would also look stellar (and more in keeping with the original look.

If you wanted to experiment - I'd work with the just the dash panels. Pop out in 1 minute, and in an hour you could try 2 or 3 looks. The shifter ring, knee pad trim and steering wheel take a bit longer to get at (requiring some disassembly of console, airbag/horn, etc.), but the whole thing can be done in a day (or a long evening) by a putterer like me.

Yea - ran out of wrap. Need to order some more. One 12" x 60" sheet is JUST enough to do all the pieces -- if you don't mess up. I messed up, so I ran out.

how long will this stuff be good for? i'd imagine it will get scratches on it and start looking bad.

Been on the roof of my car since december, car washes, road salt, light hail, dirt, debris... Even used my snow brush to brush snow off the roof. Not a mark on it

Anyone else doing this? I'm wondering what others have to say about their experiences.

I think I'm going to do mine with the white carbon fiver vinyl

aqua8701 · 06-30-2013, 11:25 PM

i did mine in carbon fiber, looks great on the parts i did well but the ring around the shifter looks like poo. I need technique assistance.
*Edit: sorry for the fuzzy pics, took em after replacing the back of my iphone and didnt realize the film over the camera

Barbarian · 06-30-2013, 11:31 PM
