| Any recommendations for installer of center console wrap for Tesla model 3?
I am picking up a Tesla model 3 with performance package today and I am looking at getting the black center console wrapped because I have read it scratches very easily.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to wrap it with to protect it and also keep the console looking the same (not looking for carbon fiber or anything else to change the look)? Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced installer that does good work? I am located in Port Coquitlam but anywhere in the lower mainland is fine.

Here is a photo of the console....I have thought about doing it myself but I am generally not very good at doing fine detailed work like that and I am pretty sure it will look a lot worse if I did it myself  https://www.rpmtesla.com/products/mo...f-xpel-stealth | |

just buy it online and do it yourself. I bought mine from Abstract Ocean and it was super easy to install.

I don't mind paying a pro to do it as long as it looks good and it is reasonably priced.

They are pre-cut so it's really not worth paying someone to do it for you. Take your time and watch videos on youtube.

Just DIY. It's easy... me and a buddy we did on two Model3 in less than 15min.
Just apply enough soapy water so it gives you enough wiggling room. Once in place, use a card or something to squeeze out the excess liquid, let it dry and done!
