Default Wrapped Door Panel, Glove Box, Center Console

So the RCF Comes with the carbon fiber look on the doors and glove box so I bought 5d Carbon Fiber Wrap that is identical to the RCFs look and wrapped those pieces. Then I wanted the center console to look a little less plastic so I bought wrap that matches the brushed black metal look on the Mark Levinson Stereo. Here are some pictures during the process. Ill post the finish pieces when it gets light tomorrow. Looks really nice, like it came from the factory.

That came out really good! I'm kinda surprised you didn't wrap that grained plastic piece directly surrounding the Touchpad. But every IS and RC should do this awesome mod.

the brushed wrap has a much better look than the sparkly plastic of the normal trim

Haha thanks everyone. The carbon fiber pieces are super easy. They just pop out. The center console is a pain. Screws on the sides under the leather trim and then you have to unplug all the electronics and once out you have to unscrew everything to wrap it. 5d reflective carbon fiber is what i used and its an exact match to the rcf. Have enough for like 5 more cars if anyone in Orange County, CA is looking for this look.

That came out beautiful! Can't believe the door pieces and glove box piece come out that easily. May need to try this out for mine, but scared to pull the trigger in case I break a tab or something

if you are interested in the navi bypass you should do the wrap job at the same time. You end up taking apart the same parts

It mainly allows you to use the functions of the system that are normally disabled when the car is moving due to "safety" reasons. This includes functions such as typing, searching for things, scrolling through certain lists, playing DVDs, etc. Links below if you want more info.
