Has anyone found an after market replacement for the gloss black interior parts? I would like to replace with a carbon fiber look on all the parts, from the console, media center ... just all of it. The exterior gloss black, I am good with, but the glare inside ... has to go.

I got my car tinted recently and I am still getting blinded. The steering wheel needs a vinyl wrap or something cheap. Aint about to pay $$$ for carbon fiber sticker (basically, that's all it is. carbon fiber & an adhesive sticker). I did something similar with my GT-R but to protect the window button and trim from getting scratched.

I am with you on spending on it. There has to be a simple solution. I just got the car back after getting a darker tint and ceramic coating on the entire exterior, along with UV blocking clear tint on the wind sheild. I will be taking on a few rides the next couple of days to see if it helped (has been raining for a couple days ... this car is skecthy in the wet with the Potenzas).

That'll be my plan also when life slows down a bit. 3M makes carbon fiber style vinyl wrap you can use (what i used on GT-R).

Even after the new tint, the glare off the gloss black is still unbearable with sunglasses on. I am with @5thZ, a wrap on the console may work.
