dj0mla Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Seems like most of you hate your wood trims. I am thinking about of trading ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm interested, I've been wanting to do this for a while. Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark30pwr Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Is it easy to pull the trim off and replace? I'm not a big fan of the wood trim either - I don't think the silver has quite enough contrast. I think that a blue-carbon fibre might be nice, or maybe sandstone, or maybe seude leather... we need some creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutchard Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd be down to trade my wood trim for the silver. I know how they come off the doors, haven't gotten a chance to check the dash ones yet, but it shouldn't be difficult. They're attached to the door cards with 5 screws.

mark30pwr Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 So I'm assuming that you need to remove the door panel first, then access the screws from behind the door panel? Thanks for the photo. Please keep us posted on how to remove the trim from the dash. Photos are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutchard Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I'll get pics or at least screengrabs from the service manual when I get a chance. The piece right above the glovebox should just be clipped on and pry off easy. The small piece between the radio and steering wheel is held on with one screw, have to remove the radio to get to it. Assuming the trim to the left of the steering wheel is screwed on also. I'll see if I can get a look at it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 OK, played around with left front dash trim (piece 1) and it was pretty easy, basically three steps to get to the screws: 1. pull out cover on left side. I started from bottom and slowly pulled 2. remove two screws on the side 3. two yellow clips now hold that lower dash portion in. You can push the one closest to you out and then gently pull the second one out with the dash piece 3. then two chrome screws are holding in the trim See pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Small piece on the right side looks like it can be removed from the same panel. pull back 3rd yellow clip then unscrew from below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKLGT Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 OMG. thank you for posting how to disassemble the hideous trim pieces. Gotta wait til mine arrive, but I'm planning to paint or cover mine with matte black vinyl. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 OK, piece over the glove box is the easiest of all. Gently pull from the right and the clips pull out. See pic. Rutchard, Do you have any tips & tricks on the door cards? The doors look challenging, but I assume there's a process that works. dj0mla, Are you still up for the swap?

Rutchard Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Alrighty, just got home and now I've got access to my manual Front door: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcard1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcard2.jpg Rear door: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcards4.jpg How to disconnect the cables for the door handle and lock on both front and rear doors. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcards3.jpg I didn't go quite in the alphabetical order they listed, I started at the back corner of the door card and got the bottom row of clips out, then went up the sides in the order listed. Don't forget to remove the screws by the door handle and lock! I broke a door card on a different car once because I forgot about those screws...

dj0mla Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am ready to trade my silver trim for limited wood dash trim. Is anyone willing to trade up. Please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goormove Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I am pretty interested - send me a few pics of the trim and we can chat some. Travel may be tough... and taking apart the doors/trim isn't that bad, just need to figure out how to do the swap part so neither of us worry about getting screwed.

Waaazooo Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Gotta love this Forum! No doubt. I hadn't thought about just buying new pieces (duh), I bought some CF looking vinyl to go over the wood. Replace fake with fake, it works in hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
