Yes. I believe so. I have owned an 03 and now I own an 06. Thats one of the 1st things I noticed.

WOW
That looks like my car a couple months ago except your shifter cover is really bad. Notice how it seems to start around the indented part of the cover indicating to me it's a bonding problem at least with this part of the car.
any problems with the volume ****?

When I had the factory unit in there (for about 2 weeks) I didn't notice any unusual wear.

Nice look, really clean. Another reason I don't want to put carbon fiber, I'm not 18 looking to pimp my ride. I just want a clean looking car. Simplicity goes a long way and a lot of Z owners on this forum could learn that lesson including the white wide body "380Z" AKA snow plower and the DUCT TAPE Z

I love the simple and clean look of this INGS kit though:
Only thing I have is the driver and passenger door is getting scratched; been using a black sharpie to cover it up. Only detail I use is microfiber towels w/ water & 303 . It does seem the interior paint is as bad as the exterior.

My mom has an 05 Altima and her cubby doors paint was starting to wear off. We took it to the dealer and they actually replaced it. I noticed her steering wheel has some light scratches, but nothing compared to yours.
My dads 06 Z has some light scratches around where the parking brake and middle console meet, the rubber piece around that. Ill get some pics of it tomorrow if I remember too.

Try taking it to another dealership and see what they say. I am going to try and print out these pics and take it to service here and see what they say... not that it will do anything for you, just want to see how they react.
I have to raise the Bull**** flag as Clear coat doesnt bubble like that due to heat. That bubbling is the use of a cleaning solution you used on the interior.

Those BBS will look NICE on your ride CiscoCerna! The wierd thing with my interior is, other than the shift ****, driver door handle and that door panel defect my interior is PERFECT otherwise. What do you guys make of that door panel marking? It HAS to be a defect there, its like the factory didnt coat the panel all the way, because you can see the metal underneath...
