Removing silver interior trim and wood accenting...

I'm just wondering if anybody has removed the silver interior plastic trim that we have going around the inside of our cars. If so is it simple pull, or do door panels have to come off...

Also, as far as the wood or carbon fibre trim on the doors, can these also be removed?

Door panel comes off... The metal trim and wood/CF is one piece and is secured to the door panel with like 120 screws...

Ok, like 12 really. Easy work, just tedious. I swapped the fake wood for CF in my parchment interiored TL.

aqre you hoping to just remove the silver, or replace it with something fabricated? Because you certainly wont want to just take it off and leave it like that

Left side comes off with the vent I believe... Right side, I think you simply gently pull.

Center section pops off too. Review jmbnova's short shift install in the garage for the how to.

they all come off very easy... the silver pieces are plastic with the silver being a metallic glued wraping over the plastic...

Should look dope after the customizing... good luck...

ua6spec did his aluminum parts in real carbon fiber in a blue color, search it up. They can be easily painted. Redo all the carbon fiber panels with an overlay kit. It's all been done before, just search it up!
