Looks good I did that 3m stuff to my little bros BMW and the 3m product is very easy to use and very forgiving. Doesn't get goey at all when you add heat it's designed to be heated. Very tough stuff too you can bump and nick it with no worries it's not to thick but thick enought to be very durable. My little bro has had it in his car for about a year and a half now and still looks like the day we put it on and that's with weather changes (Texas summer heat) and contoured pieces. Best thing about it is if you dont like it pull it off and the pieces undernieth are still the same way as when you wrapped them it doesnt affect the part at all. It's pretty cheap too.

I am not a fan of wrapping interior parts in fake carbon but on these trucks, this looks GOOD. Very nice man. I may end up doing the wood grain in the old Burb.

That is the way I looked at it. It was cheap enough if I didn't like it, I just pull it up, no harm no foul.

Don't think it comes off but could be wrong. If you take it off tho doesn't it leave a good indention in your steering wheel?

Cheverolet has a wood grain package also, as well as brushed aluminum, etc.
