Took me five yards to do the whole car.
Here is the vinyl i used.
Here is the tools you will need.
Measuring tape,
razor blade, (Trimming)
Razorblade, (Cutting)
3M 90, Heavy Duty adhesive,
Scissors, (Sharp)
Sharpie,
Screwdriver, (Door panels, Armrests, Top of Doorcards)
I traced out the doorcard on the back and cut it out about 2 inches bigger than the door car. You will trace the doorcard so you know where to cut the fabric to wrap over the doorcard.
Here is the doorcard cut out along the edge to where you would wrap it so it folds over neatly.
Installed.
Back wrapped and sprayed.
Doorcard Fully done,
Fully Installed on the car.
The Ebrake cover will be traced out exactly like the one in your car then you will Spray and fold over the edges to make it look pro.
HOW TO CUT AND WRAP.
Your asking yourself how do i cut and wrap?
You use scissors to cut the vinyl never use the razor being it will not be straight, You can also use the diamonds as your cutting to make sure you don't go off a straight line.
So after you have measured out your fabric for the doorcards you need to trim the fabric not the vinyl.
cut however far back you think you will need to be to wrap over the the doorcards edges this also comes down to how big or small you cut it the vinyl. You cut it and it pulls off easy.
Cleaned up
Now this is how you do the parts that are seen by the public so they don't look like straight edges.
You take your fabric that will be seen and cut in however far in you see it needs to be then pull it. Spray it and fold it.
Fold it.
Front,
The Tunnel pieces where very easy. I measured out at the back of the dash first being that is the tallest part of the tunnel. You lwill have to leave around 3 inches above the console. That area will fold under the console.. The door sills where the same as above. You measure will measure from the the middle of the footwell not the bottom being it is taller in the middle and sills pieces are not sq*
The rear shelf and behind the seats carpet is easy being you can take that out in a few minutes and trace it, Cut it. But be sure to cut it two inches bigger so you have enough fabric to fold over to look professional instead of the chopped with the scissors look..
Here is all the pieces trimmed and cut out but the back part.
Here it is fully installed.
