Having a Kenriko Tesla Model 3 Matte Black Console Wrap Kit Professionally installed.

[Alex3023]

Who would i go about asking to install this for me? I tried doing this myself and i failed pretty quickly so i want someone professional to do it.

A vinyl/wrap shop....

Just ordered from Amazon before seeing this thread, curious how you failed and any lesson learned / suggestion besides seek professional help? Thanks.

how did you fail? i am awful at this sort of thing and even i was able to install it...plus he'll send you a replacement for free if you screw it up. i'd give it another shot before just giving up and paying someone hundreds of dollars to do it...

I called an Xpel PPF installer, and he’s going to install mine for me in a couple weeks.

How much? I watched (well, skimmed), the installation video while waiting for my car to arrive and I think I'd gladly pay something reasonable just to avoid the aggravation.

I bought a kit with the intent of installing it myself, but my PPF installer said he would do it for me (no charge). My recommendation is to find a good detailer who installs paint protection film and has worked on Model 3s. Chances are they have already installed a bunch of these things and if you plan on getting other work done, like PPF, ceramic coating or window tinting, they may install the console kit for you for free.

$150 to install both Kenriko’s center console kit and door trim kit.

I'm surprised you managed to fail. This was easier than applying a phone screen protector, and I'm usually horrible at these sort of things.

 

[crackers8199]

yeah, as someone who loves to save money i'd strongly suggest at least trying to install it yourself. i suck at these kinds of things and even i was able to install it...

Any vinyl shop will wrap the center console and cut the pieces to size as they're installing. If you're having a professional install a wrap, do not bring your own wrap. That's like buying supplies for a plumber, electrician, or mechanic. Installers have vendors they deal with regularly, they get better pricing, and they can do this work in minutes.

Help like this? Brushed black metal. IMO classy, fingerprint free and doesn’t show dust.

The shop I went to was more than happy to do my dash and center console using their own materials. When I asked if they could do the doors they said it would've been more difficult to do. I ended up doing the Kenriko door trim myself and showed my installer the work I did. They liked it and plan to order some of Kenriko's kits for themself to do for other customers.

Not only that but the materials to do the console they can probably just get from scraps they have from other jobs. The ycan charge you a minimal amount for materials and reduce their own wasted product.

I went with the brushed metal it looks fantastic. Follow the video

If you're not confident after watching the video he provides, don't let people bash you. Prob $30-40 in labor to protect your many hundreds of dollars of material that it'd cost to replace. Go for it.

I did mine in prob 30 minutes or less but I've had years of experience with cell phone screen protectors and am kinda handy. Know your strengths and weaknesses.

I don't think anybody here is bashing him. At least I hope not. Covering the easily scratched fingerprint magnet of the center console is a wise choice no matter what.
