Hey guys, just looking to get some ideas for vinyl wrapping parts of my car. Show me what you got!

**doowopaudi** · 05-08-2015 08:41 AM

I saw some black snake skin wrap on the door trim and around the shifter that I personally wouldn't try, but I thought looked really cool.

If they didn't use a preserved snake head for their their shift knob, they missed out on perfection.

Hey, anything but carbon fiber Honda wrap

Front headlight and interior in the dreaded carbon fiber:

I am doing my trim, hopefully including that around the gauges, in this wrap some time in the next few days.

This looks good too.

Nice, I like the Amber delete. I don't think I could take an exacto knife to my head light though.

**4ringnut** · 05-08-2015 10:12 AM

That looks good. Is that brushed steel?

**FREEZE451** · 05-08-2015 10:16 AM

I actually had a 6x6" sheet of black vinyl and lined it up, then cut around the headlight, so no headlights were injured in the making of this photo

**Ajp428** · 05-08-2015 10:19 AM

black roof and carbon trim inside

**blbroo** · 05-08-2015 10:22 AM

If you are asking me, it is black brushed aluminum. I had ordered titanium first, which was lighter, but the vendor sent the roll cut in the wrong orientation so I ordered a darker color. I think it is close to what The Infiltrator has done. I am going to cover up all of the grey trim around the instruments too.

Plus, his car is missing a pedal, and has some weird letters by the shifter... :-)

Ahhhhhhh, my car is a manual. Lol. Are there merchants that carry these things in the states?

**FREEZE451** · 05-08-2015 11:27 AM

It's a vagcom setting called Driving School Mode, or school mode, I'm not %100 sure lol I will have to look it up if I remember but it's there

**4ringnut** · 05-08-2015 11:32 AM

I love how quickly these things get off topic. Lol

**blbroo** · 05-08-2015 11:36 AM

How about going Delorian style? I like it!

I've seen this. So sick! I'm not looking to spend $2-3 k though.
I bought some brushed aluminum finish. Think about doing the rear vallance, and the bottom black portion of the side mirrors.

That is a cool idea!

I like the Allroad aluminum vallance. And I don't want fake S4 in your face mirrors. But doing the black portion will still make them stand out.

**4ringnut** · 05-08-2015 07:24 PM

This vinyl looks nothing like brushed aluminum

You could replicate that in an afternoon with a few rattle cans of plastidip.

I didn't realize plastidip did brushed finishes.

**dscline** · 05-09-2015 05:11 AM

I wasn't serious.

Vinyl window trim in satin black:

Carbon fiber interior trim (on old A4):

More ambers, done in gloss black, and the 3.2 glossy filler chrome strips done in gloss black as well:

all DIY'd, some only used temporarily.

Thanks bro. That was my old color.

**blbroo** · 05-09-2015 03:14 PM

I just tried to wrap one trim piece and see the texture of the stock film under it. Should I remove the stock film first?

Same here man, I just went with it and it still looks good.

I follow your build, it looks good!

**blbroo** · 05-09-2015 04:21 PM

Got two pieces wrapped. The instrument trim looks 10X better dark than it does grey.

Oh man! Did you remove the instrument trim to cover it? Looks sick!

**blbroo** · 05-09-2015 04:30 PM

Yeah. The left one pops off with little effort. The other side didn't immediately pop up, so I am doing some research now so that I don't snap it.

You mean the left side of the panel?

**blbroo** · 05-09-2015 05:38 PM

The left grey trim that is around the vent and the side of the gauges.
