Still have to finish the bezel around the airbag, and small bezel around the radio controls. Will do that when I am installing the upgraded modules to the headunit.

Nicely done! That is what I am going for too. For the cup holder. Did you pop out the silver inner trim or just cut the wrap around it?

I will have to look at it more closely once I pull the screen off again. I don't think it will be too bad.

 

I did all the trim other than the dash well over a year ago, just didn't want to start popping dash panels until the car audio build progressed to that point. I still have a huge sheet of 3M 1080 Black Carbon and at least a 4x6 f Black brushed aluminum. Didn't go with the brushed because of curves....carbon looks natural when curved, but the straight lines in the brushed does not. A surface that looks mostly flat is great with brushed look.....chevy bow ties come out great.

Just annoying. Once you pull The bezel off you can remove it with 2 screws I think I really didnt look At it since I was going To leave it alone but it's annoying Me now lol

I looked at a schematic of the cup holder, and toyed around with it. I do not believe it will come apart without breaking the bezel or the tabs. Trust me, if I could get that bezel off, I could get the whole thing apart, and it would be a five minute vinyl and done with no edges or seams exposed.

 

I ended up tucking the edges and then carefully cutting with a new blade.

Props, Strykers_Inc!!! That looks great. I really like that bezel wrapped...even in a black satin/leather look would look better than the OEM look, IMO. Really nice job.

BTW do you have a build thread about what you did for your audio upgrade?

Thanks. Click the link below....there's a lot of pages, but everything is there. Next month I will do a complete reload of all the pictures and new ones once I get done tuning and suspension/brakes are finished.

I tried to remove it too but was unable. I like the look you have and probably will follow suit. My initial trial run I actually covered over the bezel as well. Just covered over the whole thing and it wasn't too bad. I should have taken a pick of it.

That looks great! I did this is my car last year and love it.

 

 

Question for anyone: If I have Cocoa/Dune interior, what color wrap should I do? I'm not sure and this is my first vehicle with light interior so, hmmm.

My vote would be to match the bezel to the dash color and tie them in together instead of contrast. IMO, YMMV, etc....if you like the light/dark contrast of the bezels & trim all bets are off...lol

These are fantastic! They do look very hard to wrap tho - I love the center console cupholder, that looks dope. Did you take off the silver ring or push down the edges of the vinyl wrap into the crevasse?
