What materials were used for this? I would love to do this to my Nissan LEAF shifter console & door switch panels, the Sun glare reflecting off their piano black surfaces and never ending fingerprints is driving me nuts.
I am sure @Rwulf, can share a link with the brand of vinyl wrap, but other than that you don't need much. You can go with something as simple as this kit. A heat gun would be beneficial also, if you need to stretch the material.

Thanks for the complements. I had a place here in town do the wrap. I took the peace out, to him, so I don't know the name of the product.
It was $75 so depending on your point of view it was expensive or maybe not. It did not look to be too complicated and it was done in about
35 minutes. This shop does boats, cars, trucks and what ever.

Wow. Normally carbon fiber wrap looks awful, that looks great!
I have that same wireless charger lol. The white stuff peels off pretty easy if are trying to make it look less conspicuous.

Nice job... I did mine in a maroon carbon fiber wrap, but didn't really like the color, so I got some anthracite color carbon fiber wrap.
By some miracle, the first time with the maroon wrap came out really well... but I had to try three times with the anthracite to get it done... and there are a few little crinkles in it. There's no difference in the material, just the color. It's just a tricky piece to wrap due to the curves. I will try it again later on. I've also considered mounting a RAM ball to it somewhere. I put a RAM ball in the top center speaker grill, but it's a little far from the edge of the dash... so I picked up a cup older RAM mount thing. It works fine... but it's a little unstable.
Once you have it off, a couple screws hold the shifter button assembly to it, and a few screws hold the side 'rails' on. It's really easy to disassemble.

There are two screws under the rubber mat at the front. It should just pull up after that. There are a couple cables connecting the shifter buttons, and the LEDs around the cupholder.

If mine were still the piano black, I would do the same. I like what Honda is using now in comparison.
