I still think it's awesome how you were able to do the ->'09 conversion.

The right side, open the glovebox and grab the trim from the bottom and pull it off straight forward. This will expose a screw for the center right piece.

Then you have to pull the cupholder unit/shifter bezel up and out, there will be 2 screws down there. Remove those screws and then pull those center pieces out

that's all, just try to pull them straight instead of angled because I broke one clip that way

I hate clips, I wish it was easier. So no flat head was used to pry it up? You can just pull it out with your hands? Ill have to look at the schematic and make sure I understand everything that you have said.

And yet another project I'm working on

Not sure if I'll use them, depends on the outcome I guess
They're going to be gunmetal w/ brushed and cleared lips.

Hey sorry to ask again, but cupholder/ bezel around the shifter could you take pics or point with arrows where the best place to pry up and get it out without breaking stuff?

Those carbon interior pieces look really great. Legit carbon fiber is so much nicer than carbon wrap. Not that I have anything against wrapping but when its legit, it just shines

hey kost, if your trying to get it as leather, check out this guy. i talked to him a while ago but ended up never doing it because i have a lease, hes from poland or something if i remember correctly. pretty much, you gotta make a vid/DIY for how to remove the piece, then how to install it. you send the piece to them, they make a leather version with whatever color you want, and its free. you just pay shipping i think. check him out
