Hi, I would like to know if I can separate that chrome circled in yellow from the remaining trim(see image), so that I will wrap the remaining part only of the trim. In other words I don't want to wrap the chrome part. You have front and back of the trim in the image.

Thanks in advance

It looks like rivets holding it on. If thats the case, the only way to do it is drill them out carefully and epoxy it back together.

Hey, Noelmus, I recently wanted to do the same thing to my F10. As I wanted to maintain the chrome accent untouched; for contrast.

- Cleaned thoroughly with IPA.
- Taped and covered the chrome area(s) with painter's tape; right up to the crease.
- Wrapped with ViVvid 3D Carbon Fiber.
- Cut right on the creased areas (protected by the painter's tape; as to not scratch the chrome surfaces.
- Re-installed and enjoyed.

How long ago did you wrap it and has it held over a winter and summer? Just wondering, I love in Utah and wanted to know if it would peel on you in an extreme climate like mine.

Looks good either way, I got wrapped over the wood and the chrome but was thinking about rewrapping it with a dark brushed aluminum on the chrome parts with CF on the wood portion but leaving the console all brushed aluminum (one of those wrap freaks that rewraps all the time).

TIA

Hey 550bye, I installed it about five months ago. We had quite a cold winter (for us) of about low 20s, and it held up well. No peel backs or shrinkage.
However, if I were to do it again (perhaps common sense), I would ensure to use a "very" sharp blade in a dust free room; as the blade bit some of the edges causing minor ripples while cutting around the aluminum area and potential dust got on the tape and showed through the vinyl with minute indentations. Although no one can see it, my OCD says it's there.

Good luck. It's a great project to do on a weekend.

I will definitely take the advice of the sharp blade for the next time. And believe me, I notice all of the imperfections on my wraps to although no one else sees them and it drives my crazy. Thanks again!
