I haven't seen that color on any vendor site. My guess is that if you want flat black, you're going to have to do it yourself. Watch eBay for used parts.

I'd like flat black as well but the standard (slightly) darker '06 console isn't too bad so I might just live with it.

I've been looking for black too & I found this place. I heard they're very good & reputable and for the price, you can't beat it! Normally just the center console and the 2 pods is $300+ bucks with or without your core exchange. $160 bucks for everything else...not too shabby!

check out the "Modern Materials" colors at the bottom!!

It takes about an hour to swap out. If not for the electrical connections it would take 15 minutes.

Price is great so the question is; How well do the parts in the kit fit and has anybody on the Forum used this company so we could get a first hand report?

I've seen some of the dash cover kits that look and fit terrible on some other cars. Some of them looked like you turned a 4 year old loose with finger paints. Thick adhesive, big gaps, uneven colors, etc.

I have a friend who owns a Infinity GX-45 and as a luxury SUV owner, swears by them (in a good way!). He said the fit & finish is as good or better than OEM. I have'nt had a chance to check it out yet, but I will!

Very nice pricing on the straight black, only potential issue is that the '06 center console is so very slightly different than the '05 (air bag light/key I think?)...do they make provisions for that I wonder?
