Hmm, wonder how hard it is to get the trim out when you don't have a glovebox (pre-03 cars)...mine is scratched and I'd like to wrap it.

I think the long strip was the easiest by far.

That pic you quoted is wrapped just to see if I liked it. I looked fine but the only wrap I could find the color was a little off. If it would of matched I would of left it alone. Its not hard, vinyl wrap, hair dryer and some thin plastic tools.

It's not too bad at all I used a flexy drive to reach the screws on my 99 Boxster just take out the air tube to your side vent and get a lamp to see what you're doing.

Exactly the same, its a bit tight but not impossible



The short pieces have two screws in each I was upside down with my head in the footwell to start with to check out where the fixing screws are, using a flexy drive made it a lot easier
