I'd like to put something dark gray or whatever in its place. never a fan of the pseudo wood. is there a kit? or whatever. 97 3.0.

pebe

may be able to find a kit. they do make vinyl "stick ons" that cover the wood. personally, i want to get the wood painted.

WolfBoy

do a search cause i remember seeing pictures about 2 weeks ago of someone who had a white cl and he painted them black or he got black trims !!

i was the first to make the instruction on a "HOW TO" remove the wood trim it is an 8mb file with all detailed pics step by step and show you how to do it

i did it to show people the correct way to remove the pieces without breaking the middle piece since most have trouble with it and break it about 80% of the time in the past before my instructions

if someone will host it you can see the work i put into it, i did it also cause i did the CF Vinyl overlay on the wood trim, it looks nice and clean but im getting some real Hayame CF taht is .03mm think with adhesive that is real CF but is plyable enough to make it work for the wood trim, you can get it on ebay pretty cheap, just search for "real carbon fiber sheet"

d5c5b did a leather overlay on his, do a search and you can find many thread about this

if you want the instructions we will have to get someone that has them to host them since im not at my house in tracy where they are at

yeah man, thanks. great stuff. I'd like to make it match the trim around the radio, that dark gray. your carbon looked pretty cool too - where do you get that anyway...

C-Cook
