Today I spent 4 hours applying vinyl overlay onto the gloss black stereo surround and door handles and the rubber cubby insert.

This was my first time doing this. I messed up one sheet entirely and had to start over but I had purposefully bought extra material.

I like it! I wouldn't mind doing that on my RAV 4. It would look good with the carbon fiber look of the arm rest area.

I don't know. I don't have much talent for doing stuff like that. How did you cut it so precisely? Did you use a knife against the dash?

Watch a lot of Youtube videos.

This was my first time. It took me about four hours to do all 3 and I had to scrap one set on the stereo surround.

Thanks....I just might do it, or maybe a detailer could do it for me......if I find one I could trust.

I enjoyed the learning process. It would not take me as much time next time
