    Nice job, I like it. I'm going to attempt this. Did you use 3M?

    Glad I'm not the only one who did the steering wheel one. I spent about 2 hours one day cutting and trimming templates that fit. Finally got one that didn't look like total crap and was about the right size. Yes, I know I'm replying to a post a year and a half old. I think I'm going to use the rest of the vinyl wrap for the A/C outlets. Simple circles should be a lot easier.

    Sub’d for future reference. Looks good!

    Think the A/C bezel can be done without removing it? Was thinking about using a compass and exacto knife for a perfect circle.

    I did em in place.
    Marked the cuts on the material with a couple different size cans. Not as sophisticated as the compass!

    Yep, me too.
    I practiced the wrap application on a hammer head at the kitchen table until I was pretty proficient.

    Did the cup holder trim just pop out or do you have to remove something else before removing it?

    None yet. Want to raise minimum and put 20"x10" wheels.
    OMG. Hey guys. Nice info. I had just got done Tinting my front windows. Then decided to ad some flare to my mirrors. Went smooth and had extra paint left so I too wanted to get rid of the Chrome air vents. Toyota so should have made those LEDs so you can change the color or let it change to the music... Hmm Anyway, I tackled the easy left and right vents. Started to remove the right dash and yes, a butt-load of removals. I took pics all the way to help others, but I got stuck at the gray piece. figured I'd have to remove the radio and it was getting to be 1130pm. Had to reassemble. So here's my pics for now. Hope you all like them.
