Model 3 Center Console Wrap

[Arya408]

@Kenriko It seems the carbon fiber center console is sold out on Amazon. Do you know if the product will be available soon?

CF will be back in 7-10 days.

I posted my results in a different thread, but I’ll add here as well because I didn’t see a lot of responses to this specific question about the ‘wood’ film from RPM.

I used the Gen 2 and it’s a bit lighter color in the photo (used flash to enhance the hue difference), but in real life, it blends in nicely with the dash because the dash is rounded and depending on how the light is hitting it, it’s very close in color.

Overall, I’m happy with it, and the film is textured so no fingerprint or keycard scratch issues.

Also, most people who have ridden in the car don’t even realize it’s a film, so it blends in nicely.

Which one is Gen 1 and which is Gen 2?

The one in the pics on their site looks like the grain matches pretty well, but looks a little shinier and darker. The one in the installation video they have looks like it more closely matches the OEM dash in color, but that the grain doesn't match as well.

Why not just get the ones from RPM Tesla? I’ve had them for about a month, and every time ppl sit in my car they’re surprised it’s not OEM. The only downside is that it’s not a full wrap around the edges since the film is pretty thick.

Pic of the full wrap comment?

The below pic is from the RPM Tesla website. The most noticeable part is how there’s still black showing around the cup holders, which is not the case with the non-wood wraps. Also on the flat panels it doesn’t wrap around, just lies flat on top so you can see the vinyl edge. It’s also purposely cut a little short, so you can see a bit of black on the top/bottom of the pieces as well.

Got my car yesterday, Immediately pulled off the aero wheels and installed the wheel cap kit. Tonight I wrapped the console. It was my first time working with vinyl and while not perfect, I think it came out pretty good. I was getting allot better as I reworked the cup holders over and over hah. Took me about 2.5-3 hours to get it just where I wanted and clean up. I bet if I did it again I could do it in about 1.5 hours.

Now I just wish there was a white door trim kit

or maybe I should do those in carbon fiber for a little accent?

Hey guys! Sorry for not seeing this thread earlier. If anyone ever has questions or issues just tag me and i’ll see it. ( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)

@Kenriko
Do you make the same for the long wood piece on the dash?

White looks nice if you have white interior. Here is what my white looks like. I did it myself. It was not easy. I screwed up the first one that is around the cup holders. Good thing they give you two of those. The white is a lot harder to do because if the seams are not perfect the black background really accentuates the mistakes.

This looks absolutely beautiful.
My dual motor, white on white is on order now.

But does anyone regret the lighter colored wraps on the center console -- creating glare issues reflecting back up on the screen?
Car dashes are usually dark to minimize windshield glare for this reason.

@Glamisduner 3 hours?! YouTube video shows them doing it in 5 mins. Was it that difficult?

Any updates or pictures on how this white wrap is holding up since September? My white Kenriko wrap just came in this week.

@astrowunder an hour sounds right. 3 hours seems excessively OCD.

@Kenriko What is the lead time on Matrix Black at Amazon?

@Kenriko What is the lead time on Matrix Black at Amazon?

It's currently in-transit if all goes well end of this week. It's out of my hands once I ship it to Amazon on how long it takes to show as available.

Anybody know the difference between Kenriko and RPM (apart from the price)

The matte finish looks similar

I'm not sure what material they currently use they used to use 3M 1080 Matte Black but I heard they stopped because that material scratches really easily and looks bad once scratched. I think they switched to a different material but I'm not sure which one.

I use Avery Matte Black in my kits since it's a bit more scratch resistant and can heal to some extent.

There will also be differences in the templates, install process and customer support offered.

@Kenriko I've been closely watching Amazon for the last two weeks, but have not seen Matrix Black come available...

 

[Bchang2001]

@Kenriko please advise when you will be coming out with the wood dash trim wrap? available in the same colors as the console wrap?

 

[WolfHero]

@Kenriko , is there any plan to make these warps available from Amazon Canada?

 

[Athire5]

Hey @Kenriko do you have anything that preserves the glossy black look? Either a clear wrap or a vinyl that looks like the original piano black? I like the default look but want to prevent scratching!

If you don’t have anything, do you have any recommendations?
