Removing interior trim.

[aznpxdd]

I'm sorry if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find a thread. But anyways, does anyone know how how to take off the interior trim? I kinda want to wrap mine in carbon fiber vinyl.

me too!

sorry, but I have no idea how.

with the B5/6/7 it was nice because there were a few DIYs out there. New platform is all around a ballbreaker for stuff like this

the trim on the door jus pops out the dash requires u to drop part of the dash (i dont know how but the dealer says so) as for the center section trim im not sure. if u want to order oem kit oemplus has all the colors. good luck

Carbon fiber trim on OEMplus is $1500...wtf? No thanks.

Damn. I guess no one here has attempted to do this yet?

[omgwtfbbq!]

Probably because every carbon fiber vinyl looks terrible and never passes for actual carbon fiber.

i will soon but not with the carbon i want the brushed aluminum that comes on the s-line i have the aluminum hologram (which looks cheap...imo). Anyone that has the brushed aluminum from the sline want to sell me there's or give it to me (probably not) ?!?!?!?

I agree. The only problem is the real brushed aluminum is a very soft metal and dings and scratches easily. I have had it in two cars now and simply farting too hard can damage it.

Looks sooooo good though.

While on the subject, ECS Tuning sells a whole set of trim removal tools! These look like a bargain.

this is just plain wrong

for one, it's not supposed to 'pass' as carbon fibre trim...and for two, it looks fantastic.

scusa...

Yep...$30 plus a little of time and the results is good enough for me. Its even harder to tell if you seal it with something glossy.

Welp, I ordered the interior trim removal tools and some glossy silver CF fabric/vinyl today. Will update this thread once I get it done, hopefully its not too hard!

Looking forward to your update ; I'm hoping to do the same thing but can't decide between black or silver CF fabric.

Where did you order the CF?

[aznpxdd]

From Ebay. My friend bought from the seller before and told me it was good quality.

I wrote a DIY thread on how to remove most of the interior trim, I even signaled the proper pressure points in some pics

Search the forum for "DIY interior trim" and it is the fourth one

Oooh, thanks! So you haven't figured out how to remove the center trim?

[aznpxdd]

Just got both the vinyl and tool today, got the driver side door done.



Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

[formula1guy]

Looks awesome, nice work!!

[cory_can]

It does look really good...I like the use of the silver colour "carbon" ...it keeps the original contrast in the cabin that I like. I'm not a fan of the black on black on black look.

I'm looking forward to seeing the full install.....especially overtop of that cheap looking plastic crap around the instrument cluster.

Just noticed....in your pic you have a small silver edge around the trim. After comparing mine I don't see where that would come from.....what did your before look like?

[aznpxdd]

I had the beige wood accent before, I think the silver edge are only on those.

BTW, I don't think I'm going to do the silver piece around the cluster, it would be too much CF IMO. I just want to wrap the door/dash/middle trim.

[aznpxdd]

Doh...I can't figure out how to take off the center console trim (around the shifter). Anyone have any idea?

[adnangri]

How big peace of vinyl do i need for the hole interior inlay? Thanks

[branden]

I found this link. Pretty helpful. Looks like alot of work on the center console section.
