Brad,

You are really getting good at wrapping vinyl. Great job. It is a subtle difference

Thanks again for the comments, and like I mentioned the pics always come out lighter than the real color contrast, it is a bit darker than the pics show.

The sedan doesn't have those down swooping handles like the coupe, just a flat armrest w/ the window buttons. I think I am going to wrap the flat armrest panels though.

Nice work, I've been toying around with the idea of wrapping some interior parts and your thread here is pretty inspiring.

Great job bud! I swear we have the same taste in mods...wrapped my interior trim but in matte black cf a few months back. Love that subtle but modded look.

Nice work as always Brad. I actually got some of that brushed steel vinyl to wrap my wife's honda emblem on her steering wheel where the chrome had peeled off, wish it turned out as nice as yours did. Had some major issues getting it to stick to the parts that are about 2mm wide, even tried the adhesive stick they offer and no luck.

Here's a few shots of the front door panels and the Carsmo *****. Very impressed w/ the look, quality, and feel of the Carsmos, a nice upgrade IMO.
The darker brushed steel wrap looks quite a bit better than the light washi, especially w/ a black interior. The brushed texture I'm really happy with, really makes the pieces look & feel like real brushed steel
I may do the armrests, not really sure and will be tough to stretch in the button recesses and handle so we'll see. Doing the back doors over the weekend since football took priority today

I think I saw that coming, especially the Carsmos. If I remember correctly that was the most impulsive mod you've done to your car so I had to follow suit. Oh, and I know you have an appreciation for subtle upgrades
Thanks for the kudos!

Appreciate it Lorenzo, I'd better keep practicing w/ this stuff if I want to attempt a full exterior wrap in the future.

I can't believe I missed this thread...what the hell?

I don't even know what to say Brad. You're vinyl skills are top notch!!! It's just too bad we aren't neighbors. Sucks for me.

Edit: The Carsmo know look great. Glad you picked them up.
