Goodbye Piano Black Center Console

First time wrapping anything so it took me an hour for just the one piece. If you have questions about process, I'm happy to answer them.

Did you just use something like a plastic pry tool around the edges to remove the trim? I've never done anything like it before and worried about breaking it.

Looks great.its on my to do list for sure but I have never wrapped anything. Also there are so many vinyl choices

Yep, start at the bottom and work your way forward. Took me a long time to realize that the boot doesn't slip down, instead it unclips on the bottom from the trim and you have to wiggle the trim up around it to remove.

There are three connectors for the various components that need to be disconnected, and then six Phillips head screws to remove the components from the trim once you have it out.

This is what I used:

Black Matte Car Wrap Vinyl Roll with Air Release 3MIL-VViViD8 (1.5FT X 5FT) https://a.co/d/32JH3AB

I guess I'm going to spare myself the agony of trying to wrap it, because I saw on the faceyspace that the Etsy shop AUTOCARIMAGECOM has the carbon fiber console trim piece available to order for both the proper transmission and the slushbox.

Order placed.

It’s just an overlay though. Basically a giant sticker. I was hoping it’d be a full replacement piece.

GDI! This is why I shouldn't order things on my phone while I'm at work. Oh well, it's only money. I guess I'll see how it works/looks and if I don't like it, I can try to pass it on or bin it.

I am going to do this mod this weekend - the glare from that center console is super annoying, not to mention the fingerprints. I got my vinyl, watched some youtube videos, maybe practice on the cat or something before I actually do the trim piece.

I just got my Integra A-spec with tech pkg and I am super happy with it. Already de-badged it and now I need to wrap that center console. TS, would you mind sharing any more pics and tips about your experience doing this?

I did this the other day using the matte black vinyl suggested earlier in the thread. Mine wa a 6 speed manual. Work carefully from the back to pop up the 8 clips. Once that is up, I took out the 6 screws holding in the buttons and shifter. Didn't need to undo the connector. Worked out fine.

I ordered it before I saw this post. I was really skeptical about it, but after I got it and put it on. I think it looks pretty good
