Talking Wrapped the my lci automatic shifter console

Wrapped console with fake CF and gloss black. I always hated the surround of the lci sport shifter. It looks like an afterthought.
i think it looks much better now. I will be going over it again to line it up and I will redo the dash as it was my first time and I didn’t get vents quite perfect. .

Nice job! Looks good with the light beige (cream?) interior. I should know what it's called, I have the same color lol.

The wrap around the inside corners of the vents though ...

Thanks!!

i know. Those vents. It was my first time wrapping. I thought I had them done right. Nothing like a 100 degree day outside the day after you wrapped to show you where you messed up.

nice. Cleaning off the adhesive for the rubber was a pain. I used goo gone and a razor blade at a 90* angle so I didn’t gauge the plastic. Wear some gloves so you don’t cut your hand open. Then wet sanded it and cleaned it to get the goo gone off.
