Review on πŸš— LMZX Tesla Model 3 Model Y Carbon Fiber Center Console Wrap Cover - 2021 Protector for Tesla Model 3 Model Y Accessories (2 Pieces) by Jon Delgado

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Better than the glossy standard but you can consider other options

I bought my model 3 in November and covered the center console with vinyl within the first week. I can't stand shiny black plastic. Terrible design choice by Tesla. I ordered a real carbon fiber dash to cover the wood and figured I'd order this to see what matched the real material better. Let me say this. Vinyl and real carbon fiber are difficult to photograph because they are textured. It changes its appearance depending on the lighting and angle. I thought it would be helpful to put all three together and take a picture looking down at him. This kit fits perfectly, is well made but overall looks like a fake carbon fiber. BUT I like it more than stick. It's easier to install than vinyl. I'd say it's similar to the trim you might see in Ford or Chevy if they were trying to make it look like carbon fiber. It won't fool 90% of people and that's the main reason it's printed on plastic. It doesn't have the texture of vinyl or real carbon fiber, so it doesn't change the look from different angles. Vinyl is actually woven, so it reflects light differently from different angles. I would buy it if you want an easy install and want to get rid of the shiny plastic. If you want something more compelling, do vinyl. If someone comes out with real carbon fiber that isn't insanely expensive, I'll trade my vinyl for it. For now, however, I'm leaving the real carbon fiber on the dash and vinyl center console. It's not an exact match, but a lot closer than that. It was difficult to judge honestly. It fits great, easy to install but it looks too fake so I'm deducting a star. I'm sending mine back. I think the company would do well if they offered different finishes. Matte black, dot matrix, other colors. Vinyl is difficult to attach cup holders to. I have good experience with vinyl and it took over an hour. This kit takes no more than 5 minutes.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Negative impression
