Going to vinyl wrap some of my interior, does any one know if the chrome trims around the doors automatic window buttons is easily removed? What about the steering wheel chrome?
Is all the chrome easily popped off around the interior? Thanks

Yea I’ve seen all those, Thank you though! Plan on doing those large center trims around the cup holders and touch screen since they easily pop out, but would be nice to do a few other pieces to make it blend in more to the car! The 2 vent chrome pieces facing the driver and passenger seem easy as well. I’ve ordered these stainless steel adhesion plates to go inside the door handle covers (in pictures), but some more blue would be nice on the door. Here’s the vinyl I’m wrapping in! Matched the blue sticking of my seats, hoping it turns out great

I look forward to seeing the before and after pictures. Since you are going ahead without much help, maybe you would consider writing a How-To: for the next guy. Here is the template for the How-To: and the website subforum for it:

Here’s some photos of what I’ve done so far! Looks sweet! Definetly not the easiest to work with vinyl! Spent probably close to 12 hours to do everything I’ve done so far! (My first time ever touching vinyl wrap) Love it though, fun to get it completed. Will keep looking for what ever else I can remove on the car and apply this vinyl! Few air bubbles but I’ve heard they pretty much always go away on their own after a week or 2.
Anyone know if the the rear cup holder in the seat pops out? I want to wrap the top of the holder! Tried pulling it out but didn’t seem to want to come out so didn’t wanna force it.

Looks good so far. Try a touch of heat to help when removing the bubbles. Practice on something else first though. Everything will come out, you just have to figure out how and it may take removing the larger object to get to the mounting of the smaller sometimes. Goodluck!
