Don't know what good it will do since GM promoted the "secret" compartment as a feature of the C7.

It looks great though and goes with your dash!

I know it's no secret,just thought if the words weren't visible it might just go unnoticed. There's plenty of buttons for them to push on my wheel.

Well, to put it into perspective, I get asked all the time what year my car is. Doubt 98% of the general public knows about the compartment.

Looks out of place, its a good idea but you should have done it with Matte Black vinyl, probably would have blended more

Great idea and look.

Got a pic of the container or a product number? Did a search and there are about 8 different 3m products.

Thanks.

Not sure on the temp.. It feels like it though. I did the old "put a blank sheet a paper over the button and did a pencil etching to get the outline. Thanks for the positive feedback guys.
