Hey guys, I searched a little but couldn't find a diy. Does anybody have any links, or is there a good diy in audizine I missed? Any help would be appreciated.

oo no doubt. yea i did that. shits rough
i guess maybe there's not really a DIY for this
once you start working with the vinyl you'll kinda get the hang of it... just gotta figure it out
i wish i had had the patience to take pics while i did it... i'll try to annotate a picture of a car with any tips i can think of
but mostly patience!!! you're doing a B7?

Thats a good start, thanks man. I hate when I do a search, but someone comes up with a thread I didn't see in my OG search. Thanks again.

BUMP...
Any good DIY's? Step by step? Anybody? I guess I could start the process myself, but it would be nice to know how many pieces for the window trim, and other info like that.

Clean trim with rubbing alcohol (highest concentration the better), apply vinyl, can use a heat-gun or blow dryer to stretch/form it. May want to think about using something like http://www.myradiostore.com/p/3m-adhesive-94primer.html?src=gb63dc as well.
