I have only had mine for about 8 days. We vinyl wrapped the center console since the shiny black paint would scratch too easily. We also removed the dealer added pin stripes...yeah, no thanks. Supposed to get my windows tinted but we are under evacuation due to the impending hurricane so I am pretty bummed that may not happen tomorrow.

Nice job on the carbon fibre wrap on your console. Was it difficult, did you do it yourself?
Husband and I did it. This was our second go. I must say, a heat gun is key. Picked one up from Harbor Freight for $10 and I ordered the Vvivid wrap from Amazon. Still deciding on what to wrap next. It was easier when we worked together. He would heat the vinyl and I wrapped it around the cup holder.
 
Rear badge was 3m gloss black vinyl wrap (which took a while but turned out really nice on the matte accent bar), then letters were matte plastidip (again for texture contrast). Front emblem was just light smoke tint over the radar housing. I've tested the acc and collision warning and it's function seems totally unaffected.
I hate the front emblem but I love what you did to yours. Did you remove the items to wrap them. The smoke tint, is it window tinting or vinyl tint.
 
Very cool. Did you just lay it out and heat then trim? Are there some instructions?
We did. Cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and set it down onto the vinyl. Both of us held onto the piece while working out the bubbles. We watched a YouTube video showing someone wrap their center console, but we didn’t watch the whole thing. The heat gun and team work was the key. First attempt wasn’t perfect so we took it off and did it with another piece. That is the good thing with the vinyl, you can take it off and start with a new piece. I did purchase way too much vinyl but you never know what I may wrap next. Thinking on doing all of the shiny black trim inside.
