Carbon fiber center console & radio bezel installed
Pulled the piano black center console/gear shifter surround & the trim around the radio buttons and replaced with carbon fiber pieces.
Purchased the pieces off eBay from a vendor named runnstar thanks to a post on this forum. Arrived two weeks ahead of when it was projected, and was great quality. It matches the OEM cf near perfectly. Don't have any pics of the install process because it literally took 5 min for both pieces. Use a plastic trim tool and pry the pieces up, I didn't disconnect any wires on the radio surround, just let it hang for a second. Popped the radio buttons out and snapped them into the new piece. Looks great and most importantly the wife is happy . The Carbon fiber steering wheel button surround and paddles are on their way, as well as some carbon fiber for the back of the front seats.

Looks great, i came across the CF center console trim from a buddy for $250. Piece from the original group buy on the forums, lucked out with that. Put an offer in on the radio trim for $150, lets see if he bites. Hate that they did the silver all over the interior of this truck when all the cars come with majority CF.

Pieces look nice! I wish somebody made a pre LCI console piece NOT in fucking carbon fiber. I have the aluminum weave trim (which I happen to like) so mixing in carbon would look silly. There are a few Ali vendors with alcantara items but its for every vehicle except a 2020 f97. Curse the piano black!!

They compliment each other and the CF is not overdone. I like it. Have to check this thread to see if they make this for the pre-LCI. |

Look at the new CF piece and note where the clips are and how they work. Then go in there with a plastic trim tool. As I recall, you will end up removing more than just the bezel around the radio. The trim piece just above also needs to come at least partially out. Finally, I disconnected the negative connection to the battery in the trunk since I soon discovered that I ended up long pressing the power button and iDrive was going crazy. YMMV.
