Dude how do you break the clips on everything as you install? I have taken off every trim piece to buff them out it is nearly impossible to break every clip-or once you broke a couple of them you didnt think to stop and maybe get some help? seems like a waste of money to buy them and then break everything

dude I know what I'm doing. When i bought this, the plastic was like stale, real soft, as soon as I put the screw in, the plastic would fall apart without even installing it on the door panel. I just installed brushed aluminum trim and nothing broke. I guess the manufacturer of this carbon trim must of used cheap material. I don't know why everyone's giving me a hard time, I just thought some one could use this trim because I see alot of people using carbon fiber wrap. I'm not trying to scam anybody, I let everybody know about the trim and the condition, If you don't want it, get out of the thred.

Just as a means to push this along and clean it up, please just post a reasonable price and be done with it. To be honest though, it looks like a lot of work to try to install these since all the screw clips are broken, so keep that in mind (though I'm sure you already knew that)
GL with the sale.
