Interior Vinyl Wrap

[sonni_kuba]

The plastic interior trim on my Accord is looking a little faded, a little worn, was thinking about different options, including buying new pieces directly from Honda, but that could get costly very quickly.

Having previously vinyl wrapped my fog lights yellow, I started thinking about wrapping my interior. I've seen some 6th gens with imitation woodgrain and carbon fiber, I was thinking more along the lines of a brushed aluminum/silver look, a little darker than this.

Here's an example of guy who wasn't happy with the look of the woodgrain on his MB W211

What do you guys think, if I was to do this, would be removing all the trim pieces first, so that I can wrap around and under for a good fit/finish, then securing it back.

Good idea, unless you can pre cut the vinyl,best thing to do is probably take everything apart like you said.

you know, that brushed stuff might not look so bad.

IMO brushed aluminum would look awesome for the interior. Personally I was planning to do a lighter shade like the one in the picture above for mine. I say go for it, the texture and shade of it would definitely be sweet.

I think that would look pretty good. I say go for it, it'll make the interior look a little more modern too

always great things coming from sonni_kuba!
brushed aluminum looks great. combine that with some of those perforated leather panels that FNCONE put on and our interior just became modern.

That looks awesome. It made the Benz look more expensive lol. Clear Coat those babies like the first one, maybe in flat clear if you prefer it non glossy?

IMO I think the glossy look is a bit cleaner looking
regardless, I'm wondering how it will look on the edges and if they will peel at all

That's why I would remove each piece and wrap it over and under around the edges, and then secure it back down ... That way there's no visible edges, makes it seem like its that way underneath as well.

I say go for it.

I have been looking in to options for my interior as well, because it is in need of a refresh.
