DIY Chrome Vios Aircon Control Panel

First remove the aircon panel, to do this, you will have to remove the bottom and sidepanels, then and stereo/aircon vent panel, then unclip the aircon control panel. Once you have it open, pop out the aircon controls they are only held by clips. Use a screwdriver to pop them out.

Make sure you have your materials ready; Chrome Vinyl Film, a Hair Drier, better if you have a heat gun, a pair of scissors and a cutter

Cut the film, to size, make sure that there is some room on the side.

Remove the backing paper and apply the film on top of the panel, crease out the bubbles. You might need to heat the film from time to time so you can stretch it over the curved areas.

Here come's the tricky part... you also need a lot of patience for this since it may take you while. Heat the recessed areas of the panel, stretch it by pushing the film, into the recessed holes. Do this several times until you have enough stretched film to cover the curved areas. Just keep doing this until you can press the film on to the curves, the film will conform to the shape of the panel... be patient, you'll get there eventually, it took me a little bit over an hour to do since I was only using a hair dryer, a heat gun would make it much easier.

Cut a small cross patern on the recessed area, then pull the film down so you can stretch it on the edges of the openings. Heat it a little bit so it would again conform to the shape of the opening. Then cut out the excess with a cutter. Now you will have a fully covered aircon panel.
