I bought the wrap at autozone. It's not hard to find. I bought it from there just to get an idea of how it would look. Probably will wind up doing the tins also

I used a heat gun and a spray bottle of water. The water helps to manipulate the vinyl until you get it where you want. As you heat it up, it helps adhere to the application.

That looks great. Appears that you had no issues wraping the curved front on your console. I've been told wrapping a rounded surface is the tricky part.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. The curves can be a bit tricky but patience and a heat gun made the job easy.

The ac I picked up at Autozone. It's a Sceptre. I originally made it for a Sportster intake but it worked on my Heritage also. I made the mount for the intake and am going to make a few adjustments to it soon. I plan on buying a 90, wrapping it in carbon fiber and picking up a K&N with a smaller diameter bottom and turn it to the front of the bike. I'll post some pics when its complete.
