Good news is, the parts arrived today (Fri Feb 9) and both are the correct weave orientation (bottom left to top right). I don't know if the pic was wonky or what, but they're the same direction. |

Photos of the radio bezel you received? How’s the look compared to the stock carbon trim…close match? |

The one I got matches great to the OEM piece.

The color match is pretty good. Perhaps a touch darker than stock but not really noticeable. The problem I'm having is the console trim doesn't seem to fit properly, or I'm just not doing it right. The clips on the trim piece don't line up with the "sockets" on the console. I'll give it another go but I might also just return it and get the one Burr001 has (so I'm not going to try the radio bezel with this set for now).

I didn't get anything from this seller, but I bought the cf console when they first came out last year and it fits like stock. I then purchased the console with led built in to match oem led strip from a different seller.

The center console is a no brainer mod, literally 10 minute install and no risk of breaking anything. I don't know if I would do the radio bezel again. I had a similar experience where I tried to remove it a few times to get the hang of it without breaking anything.

Center trim didn't have a good finish. They're replacing it. Radio trim needed to be filed down by the Mode button as resin in the upper left corner made the opening too small. Overall good experience with the vendor. Will be checking color against the OE CF trim tomorrow in the sun. Last edited by Resu; 04-20-2024 at 10:22 PM.. |

Appreciate all these posts as I was installing mine got some tips from posts like these.
The Ali link is definitely a steal for both pieces at about $250 shipped for both. Like the OP I bought mine from eBay vendor runnstar. Offers accepted at $225 and $175 respectively so my set was about $400. I’m happy with them and both looked great with no modifications. If the vendor makes it right for the above poster that’s a steal and I’d take a chance on it! |

Update. Got the replacement and same issue. There are dull spots, that look like smudges, which then had a layer of clear laid down over. Would not reccommend that vendor.
Both also had a "dry" spot where there appeared to be no resin(?) applied. |

Buying this to test because its hilariously cheap and why not. Its just a stick-on. I just want the glare of the gloss black gone, its blinds me daily. |

Another happy "runnstar" customer. The quality is excellent. Thanks to this thread for the tips about making an offer on eBay!!
