Default Piano Black wrap?

Anyone wrap the three pieces on the console with something that matches trim?

Not me but I wish there was a source for that. I’d like to extend my interior trim in exterior color with a wrap or better yet painted similar to more of the exterior color of previous generations.

I did. I bought some Avery vinyl wrap - brushed black - from Amazon. The contrast against the piano black is not as dramatic as it appears in the pictures.

Very easy to work with.

The Carbon Fiber after market ones' look stunning if you have the CF Interior package.

BTW - Drew46 - that looks really good!!

If you like piano black the pieces are already that color so you can just clear gloss PPF it.

This is good to know in case one gets a bad scratch on the piano black.

Their cf looks good. I asked them if they could/would make painted versions but have not heard back from them. I know they have cf in colors but I'm looking for a soild exterior paint color match.

Why not just clear PPF?

I considered that and the PPF place wanted way too much - I can't remember exactly, but a ridiculous quote. I bought a clear film first and it was vary hard to work with and just did not look very good. This vinyl was much easier to work with.

If you want them painted in car color, why not simply take them off and have them painted? Easy and relative cheap. May look good.
