I used 3m Dinoc over the 5 silver Fsport interior pieces.

The pieces pop out pretty easily if you use a plastic dash removal kit for $8 rather than risking damaging things with a screwdriver. There is a removal guide somewhere on this site that i used. The Dinoc material is very easy to apply and mold to your liking

How much wrap do you need to cover all the panels? did you wrap the panel on the glove box?

Is the 3M carbon fiber wrap the same thing? Or do you think this is easier to use?

The 3m dinoc has actual carbon fiber like texture when you touch it and better reflective properties because it's 3D. The 1080 version has is just a flat sheet of vinyl. It's best to try to view them in person. I haven't used the 1080 version to comment on it's ease of use just seen it, but people say it's very easy.

Can some post the write up on the center console. I can stand looking at the small scratches and have tried to buff them and be careful but the material is just prone to scratching. Wrapping it seems to be the best approach for my OCD self. Many Thanks

Default Piano Black instead

Hello,

Does Lexus provides those parts as you showed in your thread, as piano black. I have a 250 is 2014, and i just hate that look carbon fibre. My center console is in Piano Black and i would like to match the same as those 4 parts.

Where can I get them in Piano Black..

Thanks,
