I vinyl wrapped my interior a few months ago and it was my first time doing it. I say it's a really easy DIY, it took me about 4 hours of combined time to complete all the trim in my car. Just watch a few youtube videos before attempting so you can get an idea of how you can work the vinyl when you are wrapping your trim. Good luck.

Don''t mind the circles in the first picture, I was trying to ask for advice on how to wrap the corners seamlessly but then figured it out afterwards.

There are plenty of pics on this forum if you search around.
Took me around 8 hours, but it was worth it. Hated my wood trim.
Kind of want to peel and try a different vinyl!

I would say that it took me about 5-6 hours combined, this includes removing the trim and wrapping and reinstalling the trim. The thing that really took me the most time was trying to release the vent clips but other than that, it was a very simple and fun DIY.

I saw that you wanted to do carbon fiber, make sure you follow the weave pattern direction when wrapping your all trim or else it won't look right.

Haha, no. It would be unsafe to drive if my mat was like that, it just moved cause I kept wrestling with the center trim as it was somewhat hard to remove (Also didn't have the velcro pieces that hold down the OEM weather mats at the time).

I wrapped mine in carbon fiber about 2 months ago and I love it. It wasn't that bad at all, start off with the rear so if you mess up at first atleast you wont have to stare at it all the time.

If i could figure out how to attach images i would.
