I'm looking to see if there is a DIY to remove the center dash trim. Around the AC adjustment and below it.

Like this.

Also in the back the ciggerette adapter trim.


My plan is to put the carbon fiber fabric on it since the paint has been peeling off.

i take it you have navigation? the nav computer takes up the room where that sunglass cubby goes. I miss it but I'm much happier with the nav.

It's not that bad. I just removed the trims recently for the paddle shift kit. It looked complicated and scary at first, but once I figured out where everything is. I went ahead and did it. GL
