I have used carbon fibre like adhesive to cover the black in the same way. The material is very forgiving and it is easy to remove and reseat to get a good result. It doesn't mar the original finish if you decide to take it off. Point to note on this part - it is best to remove the silver side pieces from the surround before starting so you can run the film over the whole base part. Don't just cut to the edges as the heat in the car and direct sunlight will likely see it peel as it gets warm. Leave sufficient overlap in the centre square to fold inside the part and simply slit the side slots down the centre lengthswise and fold the film back against the part so it is held in place once you reinstall the silver side sections. I used a low setting on my heat gun to get the film to conform to the rounded corners under the silver inserts so it adhered better.

Love it! I think I want to give it a try, my black plastic in the center is just impossible lol. I don't mind it in places I don't touch though

Alright now I'm really jealous thats a good look. It already looks less dusty, and less likely to show fingerprints

Did you pull it all the way off to apply?

yes stripped the counsel off the vehicle to apply vinyl, time consuming but satisfying result
