Yep, I was totally surprised when I opened the box and disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice piece but I felt afterthought like since this same design was already released when the 3IS got the heavy facelift but the IS500 got the special carbon fiber already gloss clear coated

I bought a beautiful 2015 NX300h today with the same issue. Did a little reading and it turns out you can clean the coating off and it will look like new again. I used a microfiber cloth and put some ammonia on it which dissolves the coating. It only took me five minutes and it looks like brand new now.

yup, that's another way of doing it is to remove the coating entirely. people have different options if their display looks terrible at least

Why didn't you just buy the whole plastic pieces of the console along with it?
@specONE
@specONE 3 месяца назад
I actually did buy an entire console with scratches for the navigation joystick. The reason for not using it in vehicle was the center console finish is different in a 2014 compared to newer ones and I wanted it to match the finish of the rest of the console. You can swap entire console if you see fit but it can get pricey or hard to source an entire center console for the swap.
