Cool Carbon Fiber Wrap Install on Radio Surround from Headlight Armor

For those of you who may have missed some of the photos we added to our page on Facebook We just wrapped a tired radio surround trim in our 3D Carbon Fiber Wrap.

We used a 12" x 13.5" sheet of our 3D Carbon Fiber Wrap for the install. This gave us about a half an inch extra on all sides.
We used our trusty heat gun, temp gun, NT Pro A1 "Red Dot" Knife, detail towels and rubbing alcohol.

The trim panel was removed from the vehicle (in this case came out with vents, climate controls, radio, and buttons attached),and removed everything not to be wrapped. We then gave it a triple cleaning to be sure it was good and clean for maximum adhesion.


Going on


Heated all deformed areas to 176 - 194 F to lock shape

Trimmed out


(Perimeter edge, button holes, and radio opening all trimmed flush. Edge of storage door was wrapped slightly onto the top of the door)

Radio and controls mounted


Installed in the car


Close Up


Close Up


All in all a nice winter project as everything is removed from the vehicle on worked on inside. In total it took a few hours (removal from vehicle, prep, application, trimming, reinstallation). None of the process was particularly challenging from a technical point of view.

Hope you enjoy it, let us know if you have any question about the application process.
