That looks really cool. Does your car have the wood grain on the window switches? My dad's 04 does, and I think his is the Limited. If you do that, I'd say it would be better if you take the panels out and do them. It looks like it would come off easier being done while its in the car..

Yes the 4 switches are wood. Plan on ordering samples to see which one looks close to it. I took 4 door handle pieces to experiment with and yes I plan on pulling the dash & vents before wrapping them. Didn't make it to the yard will try again today.

Sweet. Are you gonna get the gel dome (or whatever its called) ones? One thing I noticed about mine is that they didn't fit real well. It might just have been due to me working at it in the freezing cold for over an hour. Lol

If you do the front door handle trim, you should do the rear too. I done mine when I painted it all black, but then again, I'm a little OCD when it comes to my car lol
And if I had my time back, I would have gotten the reflect dome on my letters. And I probably would have waited to use my dad's heated garage too haha. Maybe on the next car...

Friday I will order the Buick letters. Will flip a coin on silver or blue Reflec-Dome. CAI will be custom and going to hold off on the 3400 pieces till I figure out what I want to do come summer. Might end up selling the car for an engine to drop into the Subaru.

Silver Reflec-Dome it is. Waiting for all the snow to leave before I decide on the CAI and ECU bracket. Guess I will get the parts together for sale since I had a change of plans. Still might go through with the LA1 UIM/LIM just for LIM gasket "piece of mind" sake. I might even snag the 3500 UIM when I go for the ECU bracket and Trunk popper in hopes I don't have to pull the remote keyless module.
