How was the fit? It looks good.

You could probably contact https://gahh.com/ to get some OEM matching carpet and wrap it.

I missed all of the action here - when 3D printing these console deletes you have to go thicker on the print if you want to wrap the final part in something else like carpet. Heat, time, shrinkage makes thin plastic susceptible to applied tension. I use 3-4mm of ABS or PETG for the ones I make for customers.



Finding the correct matching carpet to wrap these took me and my partner a surprisingly long time. But if you have a black-carpet interior you can BS it with speaker-box felt, it's not perfect but hard to tell unless you put your face up close.

Is that small piece that goes in front actually concave? It looks like it is. I thought it was supposed to be flat. I have the GT3 delete and need that piece to go with it.

Gahh carpet is too thick/stiff for wrapping something like this. Explored that path a few years back, and ended up wrapping in leather from them.

That pattern looks different from the earlier ones shown. Is this from a different file? Is that file available?

I like the heater control part, but does that impinge on leg room?

I wonder how it is attached to the console above it.

If you look at the pics on the product listing, it looks like it's just held up with velcro lol


Also hello from the South Shore, MA.

It's tabbed into the console delete itself, which was reworked to hold the enclosure. The 3M VHB is only for anti-vibration/squeaking and safety factor.

@c didy yeah the front filler trapezoid has to be concave, else it doesn't line up with other factory parts. Manual cars with shift boots can perhaps get away with a sloppy design but Tiptronic "shift surrounds" are hard plastic with a pronounced curvature.
