My plan of attack is to spray glue the entire top surface, secure the upholstery over the entire top surface, then attach it to the outside edges. At that point, I think I can take my time cutting out the inside areas and securing them one by one. I was able to get the black trim off that surrounds the CIC controller. Unfortunately, I broke a lot of the clips in the process. My bigger issue is whether wrapping over what is left of the plastic retention piece will make it difficult to slide the trim and controller in there. It is certainly going to be a tighter fit.

After this, I am going to tackle some DIY tri-stitch leather brake and shift boots. I'm all about the DIY interior, apparently. |

Unless you strip/prep it really well and really good with a can of paint, wrapping will have better results.

Also how is the glue holding with you? How were you able to do the edges with glue? |

How did you cut the wrap to fit the trim? I mean how did you measure he side precisely ? Thanks |

You don't.
You need to get a sheet bigger than the trim, use a hair dryer and heat up the wrap so you can stretch it slightly. When you're done covering the desired areas, you trim the edge longer than the edge of the item you're wrapping and tuck it into place.

You would use a hair drier for vinyl wraps and definitely use 3m brand as mentioned. For the sake of the thread, we used a fabric (which is a very close match to the oem carbon leather trim) which you don't need a hair drier but, you need glue. The fabric is much more difficult then the vinyl imo. I agree with Amirsm3 on the 3m di-noc in the m3 but only if you have the carbon leather trim (it doesn't match). There is a TON of 3m vinyls.. you could also wrap it in a flat black so it looks oem

Just make sure you line up the direction of the weave
