CF interior trim replacement

[ngng]

Thanks @Baxterdown! The CF was the only option missing on my car. Love it!!

Normally I have no use for CF (unless I'm riding in an airplane or something) but here I greatly prefer the look to the previous trim in the 'before' photo. Nice!

To each their own! I've always loved CF, dunno why I'm drawn to it. Maybe I like the weave or the symmertery. Or maybe it's because I've shaved 0.0005lb off the vehicle weight. Maybe I'm under 8k lbs now lol

Yup - love the CF trim in my X too. Been thinking of getting a CF steering wheel with the air leather that would match the vent seats too….

Do you have alcantara on the upper part of the dash too?

Which part of the dash? Not sure what you mean?

the top part of the dash over the instrument cluster. It looks like alcantara in the first picture.

yeah it was really easy. doors, storage cubby, and armrest were easy. front trim required removing the dash, which was still easy. i'm going to put a video together in a bit.

thanks again for the trim! let me know how the switch swap goes, it is super easy. if you are going to order from the dealer ask them for some extra clips as well. it's likely a few will pop during the trim removal. honestly, I'm kind of surprised how many things are attached with strictly clips

Looking forward to part 2

Looking forward to part 2

I was going to combine the two videos, but the whole thing was close to 20 mins. Figured I would edit the first one and the finish the second. Video should be done next week.

Part 2 is up. Grab some popcorn, it's long!
