you wrap it like any other part that you would wrap just have to go back through and cut out for each button

the issue is pulling it tight and making sure that there are no creases. i have wrapped the rest nicely, its just there is no way (it seems to me) that i can get around it.

start from the center of the center console piece and work your way out to both sides. Dont start one side to another that'll suck.

Are you using a hair dryer or a heat gun? That helps a lot.

when i did mine i removed the waterfall from the car and cut out a single sheet of vinyl to cover it all and kind of pulled it tight and layed it over the waterfall then with heat slowly worked it from the middle out while lifting up the outside edges and reapplying.
hope that makes sense
