Are you able to look back at your amazon order and see what exact wrap name you used? Or a like "part number" ?

That's it the vvivid dry wrap XPO dry carbon. That's exactly what I got. Like I said though get the 3x5 or 5x5 so you can keep the weave going the same direction everywhere.

I also have an alcantara wheel wrap on the way and a blue start stop button. can't wait to get it all installed!

Exterior mods I'm planning on getting the m style mirror caps with the wing, black grille, PSM spoiler, black wheels, front reflector delete, dual exhaust diffuser, and muffler delete.
Looks good! How did you wrap your steering wheel? Did you remove the airbag and everything or did you just pop out the piece of trim?
I just popped out the silver trim with my hands. The clips on it are very small, and will most likely break. I broke one or two, it will fit back in fine though. Mine stays snug. Just start on the top left and right and wiggle it out and move down to the bottom. (There are a few big clips those are fine theyre sturdy. When I first took mine off I was impressed with myself because I didn't see any broken clips. But then I looked a little closer and saw the really tiny ones But it's not an issue I promise lol)

Wrapping it was a challenge because the right and left sides are so thin and there's not much room to wrap behind. Just cut tabs and use your heat gun though and mind your corners and you'll be alright.

Alright fam for anyone that needs a little help or what's to follow along here's a video I made for everyone. There wasn't one yet for the 2 series center idrive trim so I out one together. I only spent about 2 hours editing so it could be better but the video is mainly for education. I was intimidated at first but it's actually quite easy. Anyone thinking about wrapping I highly suggest you order some vinyl and try it. It's really cheap and has the potential to look great if you take your time!

Anyways here's my tutorial video!

All done! Definitely one of the most challenging pieces to wrap!

Did you buy the M glass individually? And if so, from where?
