I decided to jump in and try the "protective wrap" I came across awhile back.  I've liked the green since they came out with the Q2 Reporter version, so I went with that, minus the lens wrap.

Just got it back, I like it.  Some probably won't, but what the heck, it's fun to be different.  I know, it's not the correct thumb rest, and the grip is third party, (I have the leica charging grip on backorder, but this one has the arca plate cuts)

I like it! The only thing I might do differently would be to replace the red Leica logo with one in black to match the lens and top plate controls.

Yours looks much more normal than mine will. I got the stickerbomb decal to cheapen/obscure the look hopefully (havent delivered yet). I also have the same ids grip haha. A bit short at the front, but the exposed battery and SD card slots are too good. Used the leica q2 grip before and it was a hassle to keep removing, though it felt much better in hand

I would if I knew how/where to do it.  I think black would look better.  Good idea.

I've GOT to see that one!  Be sure and post some pictures when you get it finished!  You'll definitely have the WOW factor going for you there.    (full disclosure, I didn't install mine, I sent them my camera, 2 day turn around.  my 75 yr old hands are not steady enough.)

In any case, it will not make the camera prettier but I would like to protect it a little from scratches.

How did you get the finger loop to connect to the ids grip? Did you drill the screw hole?

I drilled a 6mm hole and used a M4 aluminium nut "Einklebemutter" (sorry, don't know translate this). I think these are the same nuts that are used in the Leica handle.

I just upgraded my Q3. Not everyone’s choice I know. But works for me at the moment

It actually makes the brass thumb support look much better.  With the black body, the brass support sticks out like a sore thumb....  (sorry, can't resist).  :)
