That turned out great! I have the same interior black on black and have the center console wrapped cf, and all the door handles inside. With black interior in my opinion makes it look awesome! The best finishing touch on my interior was the black steering wheel replacement that tied everything together!

Totally agree, but I figured I'd throw it out there in case someone felt that all the other options required too much effort! Though actually, that sort of person would probably just take it to the dealership for a replacement.

The pics you posted a few months back inspired me to do my own wrap so thanks for that. I'm lazy to remove my door panel so I havent done my door handles yet.

damn. I just noticed the paint just below the rear license plate, where it curves out, has failed too.

This piece is made of plastic, like the spoiler. Seems like the painted plastic has some shhhhity paint.

Now there are two things I'm going to have to repaint damn

Got the spoiler in. It looks great. The material seems like the OEM I removed.

Longevity might be an issue, but it also was with the OEM version. Very pleased for the price. ~$70

Pics to follow.
