Getting the wood trim off?....
I took my car to a friend to take off the wood trim off the doors... we could not take them off! we see the pieces are welded in by plastic bolts,,, he tried to drill the bolts but they're not getting loose... so we stopped.
how did you guys get them off?
i want to get it painted silver to match the exterior... it would look cool with the carbon fiber trim... let me know,, thanks!

You have to either melt off the rivets or cut them. I, nor this board are responsible if you fvck it up. Oh and BTW, you cannot buy the door pieces without panel the entire door panel.

I'm currently using vinyl for my engine cover, but I might be getting real carbon fiber sheets. Not sure at this moment.
