great work so far
Looking great! Hoping those corners work out for you like we were talking before
Well, I've never done any 4-way stretch vinyl wrapping before. Gave it a shot over the weekend and the corners were a big problem. I'm going to have to pull it off and do either carpet or texture coat. I have some SEM texture so that may be the way to go...guess we'll see.
I routed the edges deeper using a larger Amana bit. Looks much better IMO.

The board under the beauty panel is the plexiglass piece. To further reduce the depth the build takes away from the trunk, I'm simply adhering the vinyl to the plexi panel in the areas it will show through.
I used my 1/4" spiral flush trim bit to trim the plexi edges to flush them up with the beauty panel.
Vinyl graphics were supplied by Glenn- Thanks buddy! :) If you need any vinyl graphics done, you can find him over on the CarAudioJunkies forum. He's done other work for me in the past too and its great quality.

Noice work...and thanks for the shout-out :D
love the new routing
Well I ripped off the vinyl- man that adhesive was strong! I sprayed it with an initial texture coat last night and will pop a color coat on it when I get home. If I don't like the look, I'll just route a new panel a little thinner (maybe 1/2" instead of 3/4) with larger radius corners and wrap again.
Pics to come...
:waiting:
If all else fails and you have to start that piece over you could use a flush trim bit with a large bearing in the corners to force the corners to not be as tight. Or even use a .75" flush trim bit, that way the corner is 3/8 instead of the current 1/8
