Default Wrapping interior bits

So i just ordered some CF wrap and am going to wrap a few interior pieces. I don't care for the fake wood very much and i think that the CF+Black leather will look good.

Ive been wanting to do this to my climate control console. I used Rvinyl on my headlights and trunks and it's worked perfect hasn't bubbled or anything.

What did you order?

A friend of mine did this to his Mazda 6. It actually looks very good so I would go for it.

Here is first picture i took, this is outside on the trunk of my white s40, around 5:30 P.M.

1st piece: Battery cover to a headset
2nd piece: Phone cover ( I accidentally dropped the bottom piece in the way of the hair dryer without noticing, that's why it's so messed up haha)
3rd piece: One of my broken clickers for the car.

If you are willing to pay for shipping and back, and maybe put a dollar in i'll wrap little things for you, but not promising 100% perfection, but around 98%

I used the heat to stretch them, and yes it activates the adhesive

Neat looks good. Now step
It up and do the whole interior.

I'm think of making a cf hood with the vinyl. Since the s40 hood is so flat and kinda small I think it would be an easy DIY
