Are you going to do the door trim kits in matrix black to match the center console kits?
I've been waiting for matte black/matrix door trim kit and the carbon fibre door sills to come in stock, but I guess I'll just grab all those later and grab this one now. Thanks for all the hard work!

I've lowered the price of the Shadow Black to $19.50 I likely won't be offering that material anymore after it sells out so if you like it act fast.

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout. Im also excited for the chrome delete! Do you happen to have a email list for product updates?
Got my Matrix Black console set and installed it in about 1.5 hours. I messed up and tore the edge of the cup holder piece when I didn't cut the excess thoroughly. It's barely noticeable but since we have the benefit of the backup set, I'm going to use it. I left a 5 star review which I've copied below:
Kenriko has done an excellent job with this set. The price is absolutely fantastic compared to competitors.
Positives:
- Video instruction manual was thorough and provided enough key tips to make the installation much easier than just winging it.
- The kit includes pretty much everything you'll need. I would have liked a few of the alcohol wipes since the install will probably take first timers at least an hour and the alcohol wipe dries out quickly, as that's just how alcohol works. If the kit included three total (one for each sheet), it would be ideal.
- The inclusion of the razor makes the final product look very sharp since you cut the excess to size.
- The inclusion of the extra cup holder piece (the most challenging piece) is a welcome extra. I'll have to end up using my extra since I tore an edge piece while trimming.
- Included are two extra pieces for the cell phone trim and above the cell phone door. I wasn't expecting these but they are definitely necessary to complete the look of the console.
- The matrix black material looks really nice and classy.
(Potential) negatives
- While the material is pretty forgiving, you still have to be pretty patient and detail oriented given that you have to trim.
- I think it would be easier to install if the pieces were cut in such a way that they would align to a specific edge that you work directly from. Some pieces are more guesswork on alignment or instructions recommend approximate alignment distances, which can result in some trial and error even on the simpler pieces.
- The bonus small pieces do not have any associated instructions, but to be fair they're very simple.
- While I appreciated the cut to perfect fit, I think others might be frustrated or weary of bringing a razor to do this job.
Overall, I would not hesitate to recommend this set, and I'm looking forward to installing other sets as they become available. It definitely helps personalize your Model 3

Kenriko, which material did you use for the door sills in the YouTube video? It's a particularly good match for the upholstery and seems relatively scuff-resistant. Thanks again!

Are there any plans to make a white door trim kit to go with the white center console kit?
Yes I've ordered more samples from Oracal and 3M since the door kits require a stiffer material than the Avery (which is well suited to the console)

What about a "White Carbon Fiber" kit like I have seen in a few other places. Looks promising.

I did mine, really like it. Used 3M Di-Noc Architectural vinyl . Very thick, nice to work with.
