Overview
Two carbon overlays that protect the vinyl surfaces, which soak up oils and sunscreen and are a pain to clean. Each has a rolled edge on one side and a thinner lip on the other. Both snapped into place without the included tape, so they're easy to remove later.

Make room▶ 2:50
Slide the front seats forward to reach the rear console piece.

Test-fit the rear piece▶ 4:18
The rolled edge goes to the back to cover the edges. The narrow lip goes up top so the console still opens and closes easily. It snaps into place.

Decide on adhesive▶ 5:13
The fit was snug with only slight play when squeezed, so they skipped the tape. If you use it, apply the included adhesion promoter first.

Fit the console lid cover▶ 5:57
The rolled edge goes to the front and the thin edge to the back. Pinch the leather and push down on both sides until it seats. Check the lid still opens and closes.

0:15Yo, what's up eevee base hooked it up with some more carbon fiber today. We got their center console
0:23Matt carbon fiber two-piece set you do have to buy these separately as
0:30They come they come in two different pieces one for the
0:33Center console for the rear AC vent and
0:37And
0:39What the stock one is and this is only for the premium models of the Cy Burtrack
0:44So if you don't have the screen back here, this won't be compatible with you
0:49So what we're gonna do today is this is a really simple install all you do is you apply the carbon fiber
0:56pieces protection pieces over your existing
1:00This is like a vinyl surface
1:02This isn't too bad it does absorb a lot of oil some block
1:06It's a kind of a pain to clean and any extra protection
1:11It's gonna I think match the
1:17EV bases Cybertruck carbon fiber steering wheel
1:22Covers pretty well as you can see here. I still got those on
1:26It's pretty good, I don't really use my steering wheel too much
1:30So it's just a nice decorative piece for me
1:33So what we're gonna do first is we're gonna go ahead and install the rear AC vent piece
1:42Super light and it has some adhesive behind it. We'll see if we even need it
1:52Most likely we're gonna use it
1:54They do apply
1:56they do include some adhesive promoter and then so if we do use the pieces the
2:03Double-sided tape we're gonna go ahead and use that adhesion promoter and you can see here. It's just a beautiful piece
2:11Just no imperfections here. Let me see if I can get you get it. It's a little bit overcast
2:17You can just see the weave. It's just gorgeous. I decided to go with the matte carbon fiber as
2:22It meets a little bit more of the aesthetic
2:26inside of my Cybertruck as I already have the
2:32Steering wheel and matte carbon fiber and a lot of it's just
2:39Just matte in here. There's not a lot of shiny plastic piano gloss black finishes as you see in other OEMs
2:43So let's go ahead and get started on applying the rear piece
2:50With the rear piece here, we're gonna go ahead and move these seats forward
2:55So we just have a little bit more room to work with. So I've got EV bases
3:07Diamond quilted leather seat covers love them
3:10Just went to Newport Beach yesterday
3:13easy wipe down
3:16much easier wipe down than the
3:21stock Cybertruck seats
3:23Those are kind of a pain
3:25No matter how much you wipe them down or cleaner you spray you still see a lot of that some block
3:31You kind of see it like right here
3:33This is right after I just wiped it down. I
3:37Clean up this car for this video and you could see this is the same material
3:42that's on your
3:45Cover
4:13All the oils and the some block
4:16moisturizer
4:18So we'll do a test fit here. You're gonna see with this piece there's gonna be a rolled lip a rolled edge on
4:36the back piece as
4:39It's gonna cover a lot of the edges better
4:43I think the narrow piece is gonna be yep
4:46The narrow lip where it's not rolled. It's gonna be up here
4:51So that will probably make it so
4:53your center console could go ahead and
4:56Open and close a lot easier. So running a test fit
5:01Snaps right into place. I was gonna use the adhesive. Well, there's some play here
5:13Let me see if I could get that for you
5:18So without using the adhesive
5:25You see some play not much
5:28That's if you really squeeze down on the
5:32Carbon fiber. I don't think I'm gonna use it
5:39Just because it was such a snug fit. I can't believe it just snapped into place like a Lego and
5:46You'd kind of see the rolled edges right here. It's just really clean seamless look, andus look
5:51And we're gonna go ahead and try to apply it to the front center console so it matches a little bit better
5:57All right, we got the center console cover here
6:02Gorgeous work of art. I don't know if I'm even gonna want to
6:06Put anything, anything on here, but we'll see we'll do a test fit
6:13Like the rear ac event cover you're gonna see a rolled edge
6:18That's going to be now on the front and you're going to see a thinner edge on the back
6:24So let's see if this is gonna
6:26slide in place
6:29Or you're gonna hear that snap that you heard with the rear ac
6:40You can kind of just pinch
6:47the leather
6:49Push it down on both sides the sun is trying to teach the
7:17Sister had a clean up
7:21You have a lot of Santa clean up to let those kids work it out
7:28Unless there's a threat to
7:30Their well-being and let them work it out
7:34Brother is
7:36Really helpful
7:37All right. Well, this is without without the adhesion promoter
7:50Gorgeous opens and closes
7:53Show you what it looks like here
8:01Along the edges
8:06I'm having a little bit harder time towards the backside, but
8:11That's gonna be covered when the seat rolls forward
8:16Gorgeous carbon fiber. All right, I got finished the EV base carbon fiber
8:25Matt
8:26Center, console cover it's gonna be offering a bunch of protection. This is the easiest install ever
8:32It's I I mean Simon install you just put it over
8:36The existing parts. There's no removal of anything
8:40The carbon fiber weave is gorgeous
8:44You could use the adhesion promoter if you want or you don't have to I decided not to do it
8:49I thought I I was gonna do it just because I thought the fitment was going to be better with
8:54It it but I don't think the fitment is gonna change at all
8:57With or without it in that way if for some reason I need to remove these then it's not gonna be a
9:05Bunch of a cleanup
9:07Good seats really flush with the rear AC
9:11Good fitment there
9:13opening and closing easily matches the
9:16Carbon fiber steering will cover
9:20Beautifully, we'll see what it looks like from the back here
9:26Back passengers are gonna see this
9:29If you get the gloss it's gonna pop a little. A little bit more, but I decided to go with the mat
9:38The Edge work here is gorgeous. I'm gonna get as close as possible. You can kind of see it
9:47This looks almost factory
9:51doesn't
9:53Effect any of the seat movements. You could move them back and forth up and down up and right
9:59Doesn't move the covers at all
10:03Gorgeous and it's gonna offer protection with your existing stuff and it'd be easier to clean so win win.
