so yesterday i had to redo my dinoc around the hvac trim.

last time i used one sheet to wrap the entire trim and it looked great until the
summer sun hit it with in-cabin temps reaching over 120F.

i had to use a lot of tension when i wrapped around the hvac rings so that is
part of the reason why this happened.



this time i did the trim using 4 pieces. the main base piece, then 3 hvac
rings.

here's the base piece and the center ring attached. the center ring is only for
cosmetics to add consistency to the other 2 rings.



here are the side pieces that go on the outer hvac rings. i used masking tape
to make a template. this has no tension on the dinoc so it shouldn't peel up
or wrinkle later.



here are the side pieces attached..




and this time im heat cycling it under my IR lamp at 125F for 10hrs.

thanks, mr.alcheng. oy, sorry to hear about the cancellation/refund issue. it's been wat, 2months now? that is much too late unless you are buying new custom wheels made in japan. once you place the order, their employees start digging mining for metal. that's why it takes 3months.
