Has anyone vinyl-wrapped their dash (around the gauge bezel area) or console? I'd like to know how it worked out.

Vinyl Wrap

I'm thinking of using something like this. I'll remove the dash bezel and I know I'll need to use a heat gun, but I still don't know if there would be too many curves in the 2015+ dashboards.

RVinyl has a precut kit for the 15+ cars I am just on the fence about trying it.

Anyone Try RVinyl?

I've been debating rvinyl, but as I read their reviews, I'm starting to have doubts. Pre-cut sounds good, but I think that actually adds to difficulty in installation.

Anyone out there have experience using the RVinyl dash?

What do you think?

I used their more expensive real wood kit on my old 2012 RT and I loved it, however those pieces were almost flat where these are not.

I ordered a kit in Red Oak, similar to what I had in my '12. Not sure when I will get the time to start once it arrives but I will post up my results when I do.

Yeah, the 2008-14 dash is flatter - would be easy to wrap. The 2015+ has so many curves. Do you have a link to the kit you ordered?

Its the kit that I linked a couple posts up.

The Red Oak looks good. Let us know about the product and install - pics would be appreciated!

Anyone have a photo of an '06 Chevy Charger?

Makes you confident it will fit

The kit got here in about 4 days, and that was the only real positive. The pieces do not fully cover, leaving a distinct border exposed, and the cut on the two pieces I actually tried to use was off, mainly the arc of the corner curves. The woodgrain had a nice natural look to it, I really hoped that it would work out, but it didnt. With the complex curves on the console and dash pieces, paying for a quality hydrodip is probably a better solution.

Sorry about the disappointment with the pre-cut rvinyl kit, and thanks for the heads up about it. Maybe if you get on their case you can get a refund.

I'm still thinking about getting the StyleTech wrap in wood grain. My only concern is as we know the the dash bezel is very curved. It only cost $24.99 and I have a coupon for Pep Boys, so if it doesn't work it's not a big loss. If I get it next week I'll let you guys know how it works out. If I do it I'll also cover the console.

Looking at Rvinyl's web site, I think you would be better off spending a little more and going with either the AutoMaxus or Renevento dash kits. Easier to install, that's for sure. I had similar kits on my past Challenger's, and they held up well.

I ended up ordering a hard (plastic) kit from ebay as opposed to the vinyl decal: DASH TRIM PREMIUM KIT 25 PCS FITS DODGE CHALLENGER 2015-UP (DODCHA-15B) | eBay

I'll let you know how it goes...

Kit arrived in 4 days. Packaged very well. The product is not a vinyl decal, nor is it a hard plastic; it is a soft plastic. The wood pattern and finish looked good, but when I went to test-fit the product, I noticed considerable gaps that would reveal the matrix pattern of the OEM dash and console. I know once attached, the overlays would lightly stretch, but I think the gap would still be easily visible. At one corner of the console overlay, I noticed it was pointy whereas the console pattern was curved. The price was good and I liked the looks of the kit, but the test-fit shows me the completed product will be a disapointment, at least to me - I'll always notice the imperfections. I'm returning the kit.

I guess the best dash kits are the hard plastic ones that start at $200. I'll either spring for that, or go a different direction and spray my dash and console an aluminum color. Or possibly go with my original post and vinyl wrap the pieces. Any suggestions - especially experience - with the 2015+ dashboards, is appreciated.

The fit on the vilyl kit was bad, but not that bad. Sorry it didnt work out. I am still leaning towards hydrodipping, even if I have to buy a $100 kit and do it myself. I still have a console trim piece here from my old '12 that I can use for practice.

It wouldn't be that bad if I wasn't going for an Old School look, but I didn't think the matrix-dotted gaps would look good next to the wood tones.

Have you tried the remin or b&I dash kit?
