    Wrap options for ugly gloss back center console?

    We got a 2023 Q5E yesterday and the first thing that stands out to me is the horrible piano black finish on the center console. Does anyone know of precut wrap templates available for this car, or PPF options? I have searched but found nothing. I would prefer to find a precut template rather than trying to cut on the car or remove the entire panel to wrap it.

    I made a template and cut it from Xpel stealth. It’s not perfect but it does the job. I may take apart the console and re-do it better some day.

    That looks good, i'll probably just do the same thing. The matte looks waayyyy better than the gloss!

    XPEL has this specific template for the ugly piano center console… E1 Motorsports SPA installed it in my 23SQ5 when they did the PPF body work

    Matte ppf is the way to go. Had a Q7 loaner a year or so ago. If I bought one of those, the entire dash would be getting it. Was so reflective it was distracting!
