Default Piano black center console trim- overlay?

I saw DB Carbon sells a kit that covers the piano black surrounds for our center console area for $314. Anyone know of other options? I hate the piano black, not just for finger prints and smudges but so easily scratches too. I found some PPF type material that is already cut to fit and bought it but rather find something else that looks nice. DB Carbon one option, any others?

Definitely needs to die as a trend. Strikes me as something that won’t age well.

The above pic looks great.

I have the stealth ppf that I installed myself. Here is the place where I ordered my pre cut kit from:

I just see that installation gets too wet for whatever electronics are around. You didn't have any issues there?

I removed the heated/cooled control panel cover and the 2 side panels left and right of the shifter. Those come right off and are easy to remove. It makes the ppf installation a lot easier. As far as the section above the shifter (a/c controls ect), I the ppf without removing that part. It doesn't require a lot of slip solution, just a few mist sprays and it is enough to work with.

Clicked on your link, but it doesn't show stealth as an option, do you remember if you had to select Stealth?

Once you click on that link, where it says FILM, click on HD and it will drop down the option for anti glare and that's what I ordered.

DB carbon one of the best mods and a perfect match for those with the CF package.

Could care less that it is an overlay- looks perfect.

Just make sure you have it lined up perfectly before you lay it on

Was this easy to install? I am about as handy as a monkey using tools for the first time.

I installed leather from Exclusive Option to match the graphite blue interior. Pretty pleased overall, but it was pricy. A leather overlay option is always a good choice. I can also help walk you through the install since it involves complete removal of the piano black pieces, not sticking an overlay on top like the carbon options.

I click on the link and I see no CF console option, only screen protectors.
