Finally finished. I wrapped 3m Di-noc CF so I can say I was honestly inspired by "C". After seeing his, I had to do this. The discolor in the IP just needs to be wiped off, sorry for it looking so dirty... I also installed the 100% PLUG AND PLAY Xcarlink for iPod video. It's well worth the $200.

I decided early on with the CCC due to the additional programming. You would be surprised how quick the wrap goes. The trims minus the door could be done in a few hours. Actually, I removed everything since I was installing the xcarlink anyway. Once removed, I then removed the vents from the wood trim and all of the bolt on/snap on parts to the trim panels. You need a good heat gun. I'm not sure how a hair dyer will work or if it will get hot enough. I would think it would. I did turn down the heat on my gun though. Clean the parts well and practice on some thing first to get the feel for it. You can also youtube various vids from 3m di-noc and see their explanations.
