Make sure it's 3M stuff that you use though, I've wrapped my trim 3 times now...

First time using 3M carbon which was very easy to use and looked good. I got bored so wrapped it with 3M brushed aluminium which again was good, but I got bored again and rewrapped it in carbon but this time cheap stuff. It was harder to work with and has started lifting from the trim within a couple of months.
