I've done this to all the silver accents in my Versa. Just know its a p.i.t.a. to wrap around extreme curves. If you want to be anal about the quality, 3M has the best carbon wrap with a little grid pattern on the underside that gives it more strength and it doesn't warp the pattern as much. The kind I did my whole dash in was cheaper though. Same looks but I still believe 3M's had more texture.

I got a big tube (I think it was like 1 X 5 feet) from "MetroStyling.com" that will give you plenty to do all the pieces if you dont make any wasteful cuts. I don't have any pictures right now but I could take some this morning.
