Looking at the cup holder area of my new rogue, I always thought that something is missing, it looks like they were prepping the area from the factory to have this trim, and then they changed their minds lol.

Good thing I found the trim on ebay and for the low low price of $14 I decided to give it a try

Doesnt look bad!

Note: The double sided tape it comes with really didn't work well, it barely held. I had to install my own heavy duty 3M tape that I had at home which was a bit thicker. I also heated it up with a hairdryer a bit before installing, warm glue usually sticks better. Worked like a charm after holding it down a few minutes in different parts while the glue caught on. Now, this thing is never coming off and looks very factory installed. :dblthumb:

Looks good, hows the color match with the gear shifter surround? I saw them but was worried it wouldn't quite look right... from that picture looks good, but would be interested to see a couple more angles..

The color match is pretty darn close, I have to look real close to see a difference. Anyone not OCD like me would think it was a factory part!

For $13 I took a chance, don't regret it.

I've ordered a few things from AliExpress for my Rogue and I have to agree with you that the 3M tape they use is uselesss. I ended up removing it and replacing it with some 3M Automotive exterior tape.
