Kenriko, I know this might be a little weird since you fulfill through Amazon but do you plan on having custom sets? For example, I think having something like matte black door trim, with a carbon fiber "open door" button to help distinguish it, would look interesting.
@Kenriko received my Matrix Black order yesterday. The look and feel of the material is fantastic. Now I just need my car!
Yup I really like that material it feels very premium, very durable and installs super easy.
just finished my first attempt at the cupholder install...the entire time watching the video i felt like you were billy beane and i was ron washington talking to scott hatteberg about playing first base.
beane: "tell him how easy it is wash..."
washington: "it's incredibly hard."
it wasn't as hard as i expected it to be, but it was still not something i'd classify as "easy." we'll see how it looks in daylight tomorrow, but i'd say there's a better than 50/50 shot i'm going to have to pull it up and re-do it. i can still see parts of the piano black on the sides. it was incredibly hard (for me anyway) to get the sides to line up right.

i take back my previous comment. i was able to go back and peel up the corner and get the edges to line up well enough that i'm not pulling it back up to re-do it. the only part i can feel isn't perfectly smooth that i wasn't able to get all the creases out is the part that is up against the middle door, and i can't see it anyway so i'm not as worried. i may still try to pull it up and stretch it out like i did the back section, but it's hard to pull it up from the front because of the other door being in the way.
it looks good enough that i'm not willing to start over...not perfect, but far better than i expected it to look for me installing it myself. i'll save the second piece in case i have issues in the future and absolutely need it.
i'll take pics once i have the entire thing done (i've only done the cupholder at this point, figured doing it one section at a time would help me keep my sanity...

Cup holder and middle piece complete in Matrix Black. Seriously folks, just put the Classical Tranquility station on Slacker and follow @Kenriko 's instructions to the letter. This material is SUPER easy to work with and feels very premium. I can't describe how happy I am with it. Last pieces will be installed after lunch!

Matrix Black is also one of my favorites, I think I have had no less than 5 wraps on my car now.
Yeah the piece where the chargers go. Take it off, place the wrap down on a smooth surface sticky side up (the arm rest is good for this) bring the plastic piece down on it starting on the bottom end (make sure it's going the right way) and then you can just kinda roll it onto the surface. Takes about 30 seconds to install.

awesome, thanks! i also sent you a PM, but i guess i'll ask here in case anyone else is curious - is there a way we can buy individual pieces from you rather than the whole kit? i kinda screwed up the middle piece a little, enough that it'll annoy me long-term. eventually i'd like to replace it...
