My interior trim wrapping project Failed. That brushed aluminum vinyl was pain to put on. is is not flax-able as other vinyls as CF. I had also 3M gloss black vinyl laying around and I tried it. I think I like the look more than aluminum or CF. but I say it takes time as OP sad and I still have bubbles and edges are not smooth also . I decided to paint it professionally Piano black as my trims are off now but I did not know that the door trim was so hard to remove as it seamed easiest to me it turned PITA. removing door panels to take small piece off seams a lot of work to me and not worth it. I broke them and going to use a glue or some double sided tape to put them back.

How do you access the door trim screw? As I see you have to remove door panel to get there. Are they same in all pre-LCIs?

I used glue around the inside edges, so I shouldn't have a problem. I viewed many videos and tutorials online before starting the project. I chose not to use the primer, as it's easier to remove the face of the vinyl, should I sell the car down the road.
