Got the other wood vinyl today. Tried to wrap one piece of interior myself.
First try, so it was not very good.

Found that it is a lot better to use a hair dryer than a heat gun.

Think I'm gonna let professionals do the wrapping tho.

But the vinyl itself looked awsome. Black gloss wood with a touch of grey\silver gave me just the look I was after.
The bad cell phone pics does not do the vinyl justice. I'll get some real pictures in day light when everything is finished.

Tried a bit more myself with the wrapping.
Going to take this to a wrapping expert. There f-sport panels are already wrapped from before.
The silve carbon fiber trim is warp itself. And of course, this comes loose and start to wrinkle a bit when you apply the new vinyl on top of the old one.

Took the pieces and vinyl to some pro's.

They tried the wood vinyl and told me it was garbage, and that they could guarantee it would come loose within six months.
So they fitted the pieces with 3m brushed black metal film instead.
