Everything looked great... except... even though my dealer made sure that the Trim Shop had my VIN... they neglected to put the hole for the traction control button into the console. #$^@!

So, the console goes back for another try

On the other hand, I installed the instrument cowl and A/C surround. Both are finished in Alcantara. When the center console finally makes it here with a place to put the TC switch, it'll be leather with Alcantara boots for the shifter and handbrake...

Apk919, do you have the dash done as well? I'm referring to the forward piece that reaches all the way to the edge of the windshield... I can't tell from the pic.

Overall, awesome.

The main reason I want to do this is to cut glare from the plastic, so the priority would be the all of the horizontal dash, the binnacle, and the vents... anything below that would be nice for completeness, but not vital. I've thought about doing this for a long time. I love the F430 Scuderia interior, as an example.

Or I could just remember to bring the polarized sunglasses...

Symbolic helped you out? Looks like I need to talk to Lee again.
