C6 Center Console
The finish on my original center console is starting to fade so I am looking to replace it.
I found this one:

Before I pull the trigger, does anyone have any suggestions on this console or the price?
Thank You

When I got my '05 8 years ago one of the first things I had done was replace the painted center console bezel and gauge surround with the '08 parts, darker and a little more subtle than the one shown. TKO Performance (used to be a Forum vendor, not sure if they still are) here on Long Island ordered the parts and replaced them, about 2 hours, IIRC they charged about $600 with the core charge, he kept the originals. Eight years later it still looks as good as new...good luck!

Cheapest option would be to send your center console to somebody that does hydrocarbon finishing.
In fact, that carbon fiber 'look' on the OEM center console is a hydrocarbon finish.
Here is who I have my hydrocarbon finish applied at:

#2 That price is outrageous
#3 Find someone to vinyl wrap or hydrodip yours for probably 1/6 of that price
I'm wrapping mine in leather - $125

That's a nice finish. What method did you use, paint, etc.
