that looks scary!Centre wrap is really easy. I did it first time just after seeing this video
You just need a bit of patience and you'll have a nice console in no time
ok do you have a link, pleaseI initially went for the taptes one that isn't nearly as good quality as the kenriko (that I have on order now). Where that's good it does look OEM - even around the cupholder which you'd think would be hard to get right.. it's just the cutting is really ropey on the taptes and it shows (1mm too narrow, and one panel not even cut straight). The kenriko won't have that issue so I should be able to get a 100% OEM look.
He would have saved himself a bunch of time and potential embarrassment if he use soapy water.that looks scary!
I like the piano black finish, its classy.I can't be bothered spending £30 to install it.
I just use a microfiber to wipe the centre console, it only takes a few seconds to clean finger marks
Yes but its much better if you use your own large fluffy microfibre to clean.Tesla even provide you a microfibre cloth (it's in the glovebox).
I like the wood dash personally, but I agree - carbon fibre is incongruous in this car. There's no other CF, the car is not made from any CF. The key to effective minimalism (which the model 3 already is!) is to minimise the number of different materials and textures. Introducing a new one that has nothing to do with anything else doesn't really work.I'm tentatively on the lookout for something to hide the piano black stuff, but I'm not much of a fake carbon fibre look fan. I've seen some matt black covers but I'd ideally like something to wrap the wooden panel at the same time which is where I start to struggle.
If you stumble across a matt-black kit that can do it all, let me know! I may just buy a small roll of wrap and cut it myself otherwise.I like the wood dash personally, but I agree - carbon fibre is incongruous in this car.

To my mind there's a few effective options - matt black (matches up with other matt black plastics and the seats), wood to match the dash (but wood-effect vinyl is gopping -It would need to be a matching open-pore veneer, which will be difficult to shape - basically a non starter), or black/grey alcantara to match the door cards (which I've seen done on TMC. Also seen some people wrapping the wood with alcantara).
Alcantara in the centre console might not be super-practical (if a drink spilled), and the wood would be very difficult to do, so for a vinyl wrap then matt black seems the sensible option.
I would tend to agree with you regarding the CF wrap. Only thing going for it is many say it hides any imperfect install.I like the wood dash personally, but I agree - carbon fibre is incongruous in this car.
