DIY - Anyone ever wrap your automobile interior trim?

I'm going to do this - I have a little experience with a heat gun and shaping material that's similar in nature to this. Unfortunately my car has that awful cherry wood-grain paneling throughout the doors and dashboard - I'm planning on doing this soon. .....Anyone ever do this?

My carbon fiber hood is being painted currently at a collision center - so once I get her back - I'll do this. Seems pretty basic.

I'm also going to swap my engine start button to the red variety and as well as getting the red 'M' insert for the steering wheel - oh additionally I'm going to wrap my steering wheel trim.

That's not what im seeing. The 3M 1080 series all have self adhesive backs.

Maybe this is what's throwing you off?

I'm pretty sure "Rapid Air adhesive" is what they call their pre-applied adhesive on the back of the vinyl.

That link is for the same 3M 1080 vinyl, and it too states that it has a self adhering back.

110% positive you're good to go, SR.

And if in doubt, just call 3M or a 3M distributor to confirm.

I didn't even look at SR's link - I just looked for some 1080 in the Matrix pattern because I know that all 1080 has self adhesive.

The 1080 is high quality and easy to work with. It IS what you want.

Here's some inspiration, SR.

I was bored one weekend and feeling creative for a small project. Went to the junk yard to find a donor console instead of messin' with my own....Finished it this past weekend. That's 3M's black aluminum vinyl i used as an overlay.

Turned this:

Another thing I like about the Matrix is that there's no concern for direction of pattern upon installing it.

Okay - Matrix Black has been procured. Along w/ a new start/stop button in red - a new M-sport shifter - door M illumination lens and a suede M steering wheel suede cover that you have to thread on. I hope I can pull all of this off. LOL

Black Matrix arrived today - but still waiting on start/stop button in red as well as Suede steering wheel cover to arrive - I am going to do the passenger side tonight though, just to practice. it can be mismatched for a few weeks. That's fine.
