Actually, I just did some research and I found some black plasti dip on ebay for 50 bucks which comes with four cans. I am definitely going to get that and post pics when I have done it. Thanks for the post man, I would not have looked in to it if it wasn't for this post!

Armor all is great! Just depending on which you use, water it down. Had a old corolla (20yrs old) still 90% black, solid, bit warped from sun, plastics in interior, but not faded like a lot of peoples cars nowadays. The secret was watering down the armor all, and cleaning the interior with a dry cloth, then them armorall wipes.

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. Watering it down would make it less intense, but still provide that clean needed to remove coffee stains etc :P

Well it's all standard for the 2014 GT86 so I think that's just plastic, but I could be wrong.

Is the stock "T" badge stuck on with double sided tape only? Any holes on the plastic piece with the badge removed?

Is this what you're looking for? If not post a similar style pic and I'll see what I can do.

Yes, it's just tape. I got it off by applying heat with a blow-dryer and then pulling it off with some dental floss. There are indeed a few holes left there and if you are looking to do what I did, you can strategically place the badge so it covers the holes, but you may still slightly see one or two depending on how you place it. On a black car like mine it's not noticeable at all, but I'm sure there's SOMETHING you can do to cover them, I just don't find it necessary to.
