You removed the bezel and wrapped it,. I like it but I would want the radio done as well lke the eDash 56 piece kit.
It's actually one big sheet of vinyl. You simply lay it on like a big sticker, cut out the inner areas, like the vents and radio, and wrap it over.

Why would i clearcoat it with polyeurathane?

Most of the veneer and vinyl pre cut kits are coated for a very nice shine and to protect it.

I didnt know that, i would have figured that the clear coat wouldnt allow the vinyl to move without cracking or breathe. The stuff i have on there has a nice shine as it is (for right now) and will do while i try and lay real wood veneer over some test pieces. its a major pain and probably not worth 1/16 of the work

Its actually polyethylene or something, I believe they use. Somewhat flexible. I tried the stick on vinyl but it did not look right in wood grain. I am probably going to go with the 56 piece Kit on eDash. It covers everything including the roof switches.

I like the edash kit but honestly i just didnt wanna poney up the $$. I paid less than 10% the cost of the kit for my rolls of vinyl for both the interior and to black out my lights.

So would you mind telling us where you got the vinyl?
