Primer is important on edges and any hard to stick places, fender wells, door jams, hard to get bumper inner corners. But you can do a wrap without it as well...

I don't like the Tron idea, if the car looks like a wrap you'll get tired of it quickly. If it looks like paint you will keep it for a long time. My theory on anything done to a car is simple, it should look like it may have come that way from the dealer. All the big wide body and over the top builds are not for me. Liberty Walk is cool at Sema but I wouldnt want to drive one down a busy road...

And imagine you are picking up a girl for a date for the first time, is she going to look and your Tron car and think he's cool or is she going to run away...

Never used vivid brand, but like I said if you're a first timer stick to 3M, btw my company is in no relation associated with 3M, we mostly use Avery products.My guys removed my handles but I think if you open the door you'll see a cap next to the handle, under that is a screw, take that out and you're done...I would buy a proper heat gun, even a cheap one will work, a hair dryer won't get hot enough quick enough and push too much airPrimer is important on edges and any hard to stick places, fender wells, door jams, hard to get bumper inner corners.

If I do end up doing the Matte Blue Metallic, should I powder coat my wheels black or do you think they are fine. They look like this.

That's true about the tron style. It will look too immature to do, especially if I drive the car around campus. I just thought it'd be cool because the tape blends in during the day, but at night is when it'll show.If I do end up doing the Matte Blue Metallic, should I powder coat my wheels black or do you think they are fine.

Thank you everyone for thinking I'm an expert! I'm just another car guy with very particular taste when it comes to modifying cars.

Black yet, but they need to be gloss. I'm not a fan of matte black wheels, they always look dirty.Thank you everyone for thinking I'm an expert! I'm just another car guy with very particular taste when it comes to modifying cars.

However, in this case, the owner of this E90 328i sedan came by to have me take care of every part of the process of the interior wrap for their car. Every piece that is being wrapped is removed from the car and individually wrapped. I take special care and attention to the rounded corners and edges of every piece, to make sure the vinyl will hold up over time.

For the interior of this car, we went with the 3M gloss carbon fiber finish, to give it that factory BMW carbon fiber interior look that&#;s typically available as an option or more commonly seen on E90 and E92 M3s. The owner of this car came out to me in Anaheim Hills / Orange County from near Mission Viejo to have the vinyl car wrap done on the interior.

I tried to take some pictures of the interior indoors and outdoors to give a better perspective of how the material looks in different lighting. However, some of the pictures didn&#;t come out as well as I had hoped, but hopefully you guys are still able to see the details of the wrap.

I do not get to post as many installed interior car wraps mainly because actually most of my interior wraps are from non-local members who ship me their interior trim pieces to wrap.However, in this case, the owner of this E90 328i sedan came by to have me take care of every part of the process of the interior wrap for their car.
