Today I wrapped my gauge plate with stainless steel vinyl wrap. Put in the finished LED gauges done by Tim and last touch was the new Momo wheel!Attached Image

Did you figure out that the black wire from the RGB controller goes to the fuel reserve wire and the light blue wire goes to the tack wire?

Was the vinyl flexible? Looks like it fit around the holes nice. Very cool

I have always wanted to do the sail panels and roll bar in brushed stainless.
Now it looks..."painless".

Do they make 'chrome' wide enough to do the fiberglass bumpers so they look like stock?

I love it!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
I wish that was around when I did mine. Instead I used old door kick plates and re did the whole dash in real SS. It was a lot of work. Yours seems to have the same effect and less work. Good job.

No.
It's only 60" wide.
If you're real careful its possible to stretch the wrap enough to reach the ends but it isn't easy.
A better way would be to purchase a 6' long piece and coat 4-5 bumpers.

You happen to have any left over, so I can wrap my hell hole area? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
