If so, would be do-able. Pricing is based on material needed, which would be fairly minimal for that application I would believe. Labor however, not sure. I would just charge the Fit discount hourly rate for it. I assume you'd send the pieces to us to wrap? If so, wrapping should be easier out of the car.
All the surfaces are smooth. Yes, I was planning on pulling the pieces, packing them up and sending them over UPS, Fed Ex, etc. So... discounted hourly rate is? and discounted material is? and how would you want payment?

Hourly rate is $65/hr, and material is $10/sqft at that amount of material. Payment can be made via CC, online via google checkout, or even paypal.

Looks really good. What's the life expectancy on the vinyl? For all I know, it just might last forever. Basically wondering I guess does it lose its ability to stay in place in extreme weather situations of either hot or cold?

This material is made for outdoor use, just like regular printed vinyl we do vehicle wraps with. It should hold up quite well, especially in an interior application

Looks great. So after doing that piece how would you expect it to take you to wrap a 2-3 pieces of similar size? Trying to guestimate the amount of install time I'll be paying for for the pieces I described above.

Size isn't the issue, it's part complexity. The radio/dash took around 1.5 hours to wrap as you see it.

dang. Well, I don't know if had to remove the pieces (radio, knobs, etc.) from that piece before you wrapped it or you had to work around them but the complexity of the GE8 radio surround are no where near that complex, which I guess it a good thing.

No... didn't have to remove the radio, knobs, etc. True, the GE8 radio/dash probably won't take as long.
