how difficult are the inside skins to apply... in comparison to say... an full wrap on the outside of the body? I haven't had any experience with them

Looks very nice. Will you be offering the skins for an xr body or bug body? Also, what painting will be needed to complete a body?

Sorry for the late reply fellas. I hope this helps.
I've never wrapped a body before but these inside skins are pretty easy to apply. Heres what steps I took.

I first trimmed my body (just to stock specs for now) to be able to get in there a little easier. I just cut along the line, i always wait to do the final trimming after the body is complete. To each their own.
Anyway,to make application a little easier on myself... I used a bowl of water with a drop of dish soap in it(very little). I ran each skin through the water then slid the skin into place on the body.
Once I have the skin where I want it, I squeegee the excess water out with a small thin flexible piece of rubber that I acquired from a ZAGG iPhone screen protector kit.
After I get the excess water and or air out , I heat the body up slightly from the outside with a hair dryer just to speed up the drying process and help the adhesive stick better.
Move on to the next piece and so on. Try to keep the lines as close as you can to each other. For example. I applied the hood skin 1st then applied the side skins. In doing so, I tried to keep my hood and fender lines as close as possible to one another.
Try not to stretch the skins out too much. A little here n there is ok but If you stretch one too far the skin "may" want to lift near a crease in direct sunlight. This happened to me on one spot on the body. No biggie... Since my body was still hot from baking in the sun at ecc,I simply pushed it back in place. If I wouldn't of stretched it during application, I doubt it would of lifted. I am new to this and it was a small lesson learned.
Once all skins are in place, all the air & water has been squeegeed out and the body clean. Next is paint. I just matched my skins main color to a rattle can from the local hobby shop n sprayed it. Done deal.
Quite a few fellas @ ecc said to me " Wow, did i hear U say those are inside skins?!" I said heck yea they are! Then i told em' who to go to for a set.

I'll be contacting you here soon for more skins
