So I decided to make things a little more unique in my '15 CC Big Horn by vinyl wrapping my console. I used 3Ms brushed black vinyl and complimented it with their smoldering red. The smoldering red I think looks like a very close match to the Rebel's red trim as well.

Now all I need to do is figure out how to do the door trim to match.

Anyway, here's some pics! 449f071dcde85feb911a2d47d2d9962b.jpg28ce40a4d65df6f7b889a88d1b81c184.jpg10b4d2abd25b9f48e9c42a6c665b291c.jpga8439705c08760d3ee7b3b575d4acd58.jpg

Looks great, I did the same thing with black carbon fiber
Thanks! I was trying to see how other people did theirs, but it seems that it just isn't a common thing to do. I guess that might also come from the fact that to get the best results, you need to undo the melted plastic tabs to separate the pieces.

Anyway, did you do any wrapping on your door panels? I'm still trying to figure out how much of the center trim rings come apart. That's assuming you drive a 13+ with the newer style door panels.

I have a 2016 but no I didn't do the door panels. On the dash and the center console I didn't undo any of the plastic welds but I agree to get the best results that is the way to go.

It probably took a good 4-5 hours to do the right way. And by that I mean sitting down and slowly using a soldering iron to separate the plastic welds so I could get a good wrap on all the pieces, then rewelding everything.

I also found out that if you have the dual zone/ automatic climate control system, it is almost impossible to wrap the center piece around the screen and climate controls. I think I tried 3 times before giving up because I couldn't get the vinyl to adhere properly around the raised edges around the knobs.

Anyway, good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Do you have to heat the wrap to get it to fit around tight bends? I might try to wrap mine with carbon fiber wrap.

For best results, heat is required. A hair dryer is more than sufficient to heat it if you don't have a heat gun. Heat also helps the vinyl keep its new shape after it's applied if you thoroughly heat everything when you're done. Just don't overheat and melt anything!

Did you do all of it yourself?
