Default Look at my latest mod!!!
Not as nice as REAL carbon fiber trim. However, I'm very pleased with my latest mod. Hope you like it...

I know! there's a slight imperfection on the left whatchamacallit.



Unfortunately, my center cup holder no longer pops up automatically. I was toggling around with the gears so much that it stopped functioning properly. It may very well just need grease, but oh well...I don't wanna take any chances by removing everything again

came out nice. Do you have an L embroidered on the rear floor mat? Factory?

That would be the famous Canadian all season floor mat that is apparently a rarity elsewhere.

Looks great! How did you get it to fit so well around the gear shift? Did you remove the pieces to cover them?

Nooooo! I don't know if you saw the thread a while ago, but someone tried it on a spare piece they had, and it just makes it look grey. You SHOULD NOT clear cf "wraps"!!!

No. The ones from Aerotect unfortunately show too much of the oem trim. Mine was done with a sheet of 3M.

Yes. all trim removed, 3M wrapped each piece then cut approx. 2mm away from the edge of where the shifter is to get that chrome piece to slide into her.

Thx for the heads up! However, I did see a DIY on here where a member used 2-3 coats of resin, which actually looked pro. I'll probably leave it as is. Eventually, I would like to pick up the REAL cf that brociouz has.

Thx for the positive feedback everyone. Does anyone know how to fix the cup holder? lol
