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.

are there a lot of contours?

buy a roll of xpel for 20 usd and try it yourself first

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 :rukidding:

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

ruh oh. wrapping that tesla is like screen protecting your phone. Hopefully they don't release a new one every year and keeps up OS support for 5+ years. :troll::troll::troll:

Do you have a model 3 also? I have heard from a few people that it can be a pain to apply it and make it look good.

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

I am trading in my 6 speed manual 2016 M3 later today and I am having second thoughts but no turning back now.....The wife loves the Tesla model 3 and I have had my choice of cars the last few times so I figured why not :-)

yeah, i do have one and that's how i can tell you from personal experience it is super easy to do. 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.

that link shows 3m pre-cut, even easier...dont pay someone to do it

Here is a link to the one I got. Super easy install, just take your time.

Get the performance... you’ll be glad you did.

I ordered a few from amazon and they came used. I have a few coming from ev wraps

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!
