If you reclear when you receive them it's simple process to make satin, other than waiting for the clear to cure.

My door boomerangs and gauge surround trim arrived. It's raining the next few days here, so hopefully towards the end of the week humidity will drop and can get them cleared. Excited to be silver free inside the car finally

All 3 places, it's all seemingly from China anyways. Next-Gen, Carbon Addons and AliExpress. Most came from AliExpress as I didn't mind waiting for them to arrive since was a good bit cheaper. Since I got to remove all brands, I prefer to remove the AliExpress and Next-Gen covers, they use a thing clear tape that comes off fairly easily. Carbon Addons uses a more 3M emblem-type tape, the gray stuff that is not as low profile as the clear stuff. While it works great, it's a SOB to remove.

One thing I do want to mention is I had almost no issues reapplying all my carbon back in the car using the tape I mentioned. The only part that came up was the shifter trim on the left side. This particular part did have the emblem-type of tape on it which makes sense since it needed a little more height to grab onto the shifter OEM bezel

Amazing transformation, these parts look much more high end with the satin clearcoat. Much respect for your patience, this project turned out fantastic

Thanks! I'm very happy with how it turned out and is pretty much exactly what i hoped for. Only regret is I didn't do this from the start, would have been $30 well spent.

Just couple more random pictures. I need to wash the car as you can see, but when while washing I'll get some better pics of the interior.

I like the alcantara in the doors! Wish the 2ss had that option.
