Here is some pic shows the course. It's little bit hard. Took about 4 hours.




















V8 engine. I love it!

Any way thanks Rudy. If he doesn't sent to me TIS file I couldn't removed the Left Cockpit .
Next I'll install SMG paddle shift kit for my baby. I'm waiting for my M-soprt airbag.

Nice job. Can you descibe how to remove the door panel for the trim replacement ? I know that Rudy had uploaded the TIS for it but any tip or beware to remove the door panel after you had done it yourself.

Thanks,

Door trim not removed by myself. It must be removed by dealer. Because it must be removed by special tools. If you just use screwdriver you'll damage your panel. I've damaged my left rear door panel. too bad

Where did you buy the trim from? eBay?
