Looks fantastic. Any tips for removing the pieces to prep?

Bruni,

I like it a lot and attempted it a couple of times but I always had trouble. I see you did the driver's side but did the passenger side come since the pocket is deeper and really hard to get the wrap down in that area. I had evisioned myself do the plastic trim where the window switches on the doors, sills, the plastic sills that have " turbo "on them, middle console, both triangle mirror trims on the doors. Seems like a lot but I think it would tie in nicely with the car. Any tips on how you got so deep in the passenger side silk pocket would be helpful .

I didn't go deep on the passenger side I just went a little in the pocket and trimed it with a utility knife once it's in the car it looks fine.
When I wrapped it I covered the pocket and then heated the wrap up while I was push down into the pocket then I cut a slice down the middle and worked the wrap to the edge while making little cuts in the corners use heat
then i trimed it.

Can you share the steps to remove the sills? I see two plastic pins on the inside edge. Do you simply pop those out and pull up on the sill?
