I don't believe its a cf kit, I think the OP just wrapped it in cf. With the bottle of water in the cup holder, you can see that some of the cf has peeled off from the cover of the cup holder and it looks like a red wood grain panel.

I figured it was an overlay/wrap, just curious which one. It seems to fit really well around the shifter and other edges. I want to do this, just don't think i have the patience to make it look good

The rectangular LED thingy for the armrest cup holder LED, can THAT be replaced instead of having to wire in a new LED? I wanna replace that one and the one near the map light to blue.

I did this today as was too cold out and I was bored.

Wired to shift indicator light instead so I can easily remove console pieces in future.



During the process I broke one of the garnish trims so i glued and carbon vinyl wrapped to hide the crack.
