Carbon center console
Where does everyone get there 2008 + consoles from? The prices have went up over $200 from a few years ago.... Anyone know where I can get one cheaper?

BTW, even if your car has heated seats don't spend the extra $$$ for a console bezel with heated seat buttons. You can very easily transplant the buttons from your old bezel to the new one.

Much cheaper and the results are awesome.
We can also do the center radio/shifter console in the GM 2010-2012 pattern too. Below is a picture of the console we did in a GM 2010-2012 4lt finish (We just added the stainless trim rings)
And then there is our Gun Metal carbon Fiber Finish too...
Colored:
If your interested, click below. Look around & then just select the finish you want from the drop down menu.

Snake, I can't recall if it was di-noc or 1080, but I'm certain it was 3M. I just happened to have a sign shop near work that also did partial wraps on police/gov't cars & had a big piece of it on hand for $30.
If you do this with the matte black you'll be surprised how durable it is, & how well it matches all the other matte black stock trim. Couple pointers; be sure to leave enough material inside of the cut-outs, corners especially (vent ports, radio hole, etc) so that you can pull it tight enough so that it adheres completely & doesn't release at all.
Lastly, heat & pull the material tightly around/over the holes, for the shifter & drink holder especially, to prevent it from getting air tiny bubbles under it. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward to install this stuff & it's easy to pull the console & re-do certain spots if they're not perfect.
