You're right. I made a mistake. The link is correct. It should be charcoal. M211 is the specific model number you should look for.
I've been researching color codes to refinish a steering wheel, trying to find a decent match. So the words "charcoal", "graphite", and such have been swimming in my head lately. Sorry for the confusion. |
Nice solution to the problem you had.

I installed mine today and it looks great!

I installed the vinyl wrap in my 2004 UL today. Looks really good. The video really helped me in knowing just what was involved in the project. Many thanks to LexRex for a most useful post. Delighted with the results!

I'm in on this one. Need to eventually do this.
|
I did it. Looks great, and took less than 15 minutes. I would say to also have a pair of tweezers handy, to pull off any small slivers.

Will the JDM console work after plug in? The car now speaks Japanese? LOL, probably not but interested in what happened to it after your installation.

What an awesome idea LexRex...
My old one was very scratched and faded, so bought a newer one from yahoo auctions japan... Old one: https://i66.tinypic.com/23mpkb9.jpg new one: https://i67.tinypic.com/69nnr8.jpg Either way that color match is nearly perfect, and its nice of you to have made a template! Thumbs up! Yann. |
Looks great. Best idea for not having to repaint or replace the entire unit. The picture does still reveal a seam on both sides, but only the owner would notice. Great Job! PS. Fortunately my bezel is flawless so no need at this time for correction.

Fixed mine today. Didn't do a perfect job like you but good enough. It is finally looking great! |
Another way of doing it, if you want to try broader coverage without a template...

i will have to do it that way since there are scratches on the side of the buttons also. i hope mine turns out ok, lol.
|
awesome fix
Did this today. I love vinyl wrap, its so forgiving unlike window tint. Came out pretty good.
|
My fix
|
looks awesome

I ended up having to do this to make mine look better. It looks like the picture above. SO I got the repair kit and making the template was the most challenging, I like the curved look better. But the issue is the corners in by the nav screen keep peeling up.
Those who have done got any secretes you'd like to share? It does look so much better. Thanks to the original poster for taking the time to do this and post it. Dave |
