I currently have a wood-grain trim kit but I've decided that I want the brushed aluminum kit now. What do you think is the best way to remove the wood trim kit I currently have on?

Do you think if I just decided to remove my wood trim kit and leave it stock it'll look like crap due to excess glue and stuff?

 

I just removed a piece of "wood" trim from the compartment that's under the stock head unit.

What a bitch it was! I separated the "wood" from the flip lid by running a razor blade the whole way around, then pulling the "wood" piece off. Now the foam backing is stuck to the front of the lid!

I'm gonna try some "Goo Gone", and see it I can get the foam/glue off.

 

any ideas what to do with the wood trim for a tan interior? I wish my interior was black since aluminum of CF or even black leather wrap goes with that... but tan? I dunno what to do... none of those previous ideas would go well at all... what do you think?

to answer your question, just keep the current pieces and wrap them in leather or paint them.

EDIT: d5c5b just did black leather wrap.

 

yeah me to my red cl has the tan leather interior and i dont know what to do I hate the wood grain, i really want brushed aluminum, it would go good with my head unit but i dont think it will match

 

oh, try acetone if the goo gone doesnt work, but it should, that stuff eats anything

 

Goo Gone worked well (that and a lot of rubbing with my fingers to roll the foam off).

whats wrong with the wood? you dont like? i kinda want brushed aluminum or the dark grey wood kit but i kinda like the natural look of the wood kit. i was thinking of making a REAL wood kit at my wood shop but dont know if its worth the time.

Nothing is wrong with the wood kit, it looks nice and everyone who I asked after I had it done liked it. In fact I won't be changing it anytime soon, but I know I'm going to want something different. The same old thing gets boring.

 

does anyone have a pic of this brushed aluminum kit?

 

i;ll buy the wood of anyone who wants to sell it.

oh and BTW i changed my leather to black i love it although the tan looks very classy

 

hey redcl2.3 how did u change the leather? Did u just swap it or paint it? And where did u get the black leather?

 

heres the aluminum
