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.
( Click to show/hide )



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.


Looks great. I'm not big into the CF interior wrap but you definitely did a nice job. I've seen peoples that look just flat out terrible and can't get the curves on it all that great.
