Can you post more pictures specONE? I think this looks much better than the CF and it blends in better with the black leather parts than the CF.

those parts didn't have to come off. remove the module that hold the snow/traction buttons and the cap will come off from the top side of it.

Does the brushed aluminium wrap actually feel like brushed aluminium in terms of texture and temperature?

That plastic piece pops up/outward a little if you lift up from the bottom, and can be wrapped without taking the wheel apart

Wrapped ac vents in 3m gloss black vinyl, look matches more the color of the vents in the RC coupes

Also the red on the bar behind the nav screen, is Arlon roasted red metallic wrap

I think this looks great. Do you still get the reflection of the vents in your front windows now that the vent is no longer silver?

Thanks, have not noticed any reflections since wrapping.

They make a silver cf wrap which closely matches it

Finally decided to jump on this thread and wrap my interior console in brushed black metallic. The shiny black plastic on the OEM center console was really annoying me because it's a lint magnet and scratches so easily. I'm really happy with the way the brushed black metallic looks. Attached are a few pics I took today. Thanks to everyone who posted helpful advice on this thread, especially Electrohou for posting the console removal video!
