How difficult was it to apply this? Did you seal it with some kind of epoxy resin or something? Did you have to worry about it fitting back into place or is it pretty forgiving?

I paid $70 to get it done guy didn't have any problems with it. Took it out quickly put it on quickly put it bck on with no problem. Pricey in my opinion but I wanted to get it done right. FYI the stock one is also a wrap.

I used 3M Di-Noc which is meant to be permanent, also I did this myself in about 1.5-2 hours (a lot of adjusting to get just right) http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-...on-fiber-vinyl

The BRZ dash pieces aren't any better. I vinyl'd mine with a textured material that looks like brushed aluminum. Very subtle but much better.

^ That looks GREAT!

86BRZ · 12-15-2012, 11:23 PM

Where do you get that brushed vinyl? Looks mich better and higher grade. Did you vinyl the center console side and the door handle?

If you mean the pieces by the HVAC panel, I didn't do that. I may in the future. I did the steering wheel and door handles though.

Search on ebay for 'brushed aluminum vinyl'. The one I purchased came as a 5 square foot sheet if I remember correctly. 60"x10". I bought a quantity of 2. Gave me room for error on the radio bezel that I initially cut too short. Plus I was able to do my Macbook case and I have a good amount left over still.

How hard was it to do the shifter bezel with the buttons? That part REALLY stands out.

looks a little out of place but very very nice at the same time

DaJo · 12-16-2012, 01:58 AM

Overall the BRZ's interior (dash trim) reminds me a little bit of the Mustang... But it still looks nice!

That took me about 30-45 minutes. I have an air bubble in it now

86BRZ · 12-16-2012, 01:12 PM

Yes... Thank you. That silver plastic makes the car looks cheap. A little touch like that can remain in the stock color contrast theme with the brushed texture. The other choice is to go CF vinyl but I think too much black going on.

How difficult was it to get the vinyl perfect around the radio trim? It looks like a lot weird angles.
