I went to my favorite tint shop to get my front windows tinted as well as the heat rejecting ceramic film on the front windshield. As usual, SunSational in Norristown PA did a great job. But while there, they told me they accidentally messed up the factory plastic on the internal screens. I was trying to leave the plastic covering on until I could find some screen protectors. Well, the let me know that if the templates were in the system, they could cut and apply their PPF on them for me. I asked if they had matte and they did. They went and looked and discovered the templates were there. For $80, they did a phenomenal job and now all 3 of my screens are protected and anti-glare. I couldn’t be happier with the result. (Disregard the KPop music, my daughter was in the car, and any dad of a 10ish year old daughter may have already been sucked in by now lol).

what brand were the internal matte PPFs for the screen?
 
Now that I’m not sure. I’ll call back and ask them.
 
Yours look great.
And I love the config of your Gravity.
I did the matte film from TWraps on my Air and I love them. So much better than having to look at the smudges

NOOOOOO... not the matte finish to the beautiful screens. You can just keep a microfiber cloth in the center console. The matte ruins the beautiful look of the screens!

I've found the pilot panel gets far too much glare -- I hand-cut a matte protector and it helps a lot.

My daughters and I are going through a K-pop phase too! K-Pop Demon Hunters is going to be #1 on my 2025 Apple Music Year In Review!
 
So can someone recommend any after market screen protectors? I see one from a company called Boxwave. They're on Amazon but no reviews and odd pictures rather than ones advertised for "Lucid Gravity"

@TWRAPS makes great ones for the Air; I imagine they’ll produce Gravity ones soon.

I spoke with them and they said it was coming. A friend ordered a gravity so as soon as it is delivered they will borrow it and produce items for it.

I thought @borski already lent his Gravity to Twraps.

Do you have or do more of such cut outs? I'd love to buy from you.

Sorry -- I literally did this by hand. I used this as the material (recommended in a different thread):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRV5WRJR

Then it was a process of tracing the screen on a piece of paper, trimming the material, holding it up to the screen, trimming it some more, etc, etc.

I was browsing the specs of various PPF film companies, and I see the XPEL people have a pre-cut template listed now for the three interior screens. Not sure exactly which films they offer for that, you'd have to inquire.
