if there will be no damage on the dash i would love to get one from you guys. 2 colors available right?
Yeah, it should remove no problem... That said, I believe the layout on those is slightly different on the door trim, however, I think a few customers have used our kit with success.

As far as colors, we have the Dry Carbon (black), Dry Silver (Light Silver), and we just got in one that we're calling Titanium... No pic available yet, but as soon as I take one, I'll get it posted.

hope you can post this... maybe i'll get the titanium if it's nicer...

i feel like the black one seems too dark while light silver is too light. will the titanium color be in between?

silver trim will be ruined if the wrap is applied to it!!! It is irreversible!!

^^ wrong, unlike your neffy wrap, this is a 3M carbon vinyl, so it does not need primer to stick. when removed, it only leaves the tape residue on the silver trim and does not damage the trim.

Ah ... ok. After reading people posting it was OK, I posted that super fast as I didnt want him ruining his trim ...

Forgot that 3M had the adhesive on the back ......

This was a case of "shoot first ask later"

^Read my post above...

I forgot that the 3m stuff has the adhesive backing on it... the neffy wrap I have needs a glue that WILL ruin your trim, which is why I just remembered that and posted it

But the 3M stuff, others have said it will NOT run it.

I just posted that as fast as possible and didnt think first .... but I was concerned about your trim

No, that is not aerotect... the overlay i had is a hard mold shell with real CF weaves and clearcoat.. the overlay pieces are 3m taped on.
