How to remove these interior pieces? I am swapping out for CF trim and need some help from those that have removed before. Any asssistance is appreciated. Thanks

 

 

go to Renntech.org... There are threads about all of these. I have done them all myself and more. None are difficult once you have the instructions.

 

Shamrock...you have it all wrong




heres a picture of (ballin) kirby going at his

 

Hey John. First make sure you have torx screw drivers.

For the side vents, unscrew the two side bolts. Then take the oval piece out. If i remember correctly there is another screw in there. Next take off the circle light switch. If you pull on the light switch, underneath will be an opening where you have to insert the head of a small screwdriver in order to get the thing off. Once off, you will see another screw. The rest is easy, just pull it off.

For the upper center console, you need to pry the two sides off first. You can do this by carefully wedging it off using the head of a flat head screwdriver. Once these are off, the rest is pretty intuitive. The wiring is exposed as well as screws to take the whole assembly off, if I remember correctly. The top and bottom are integrated into the assembly so don't try taking them off as they aren't separate pieces.

I've never done the rear center console. I did this by myself w/o reading anything. It was actually quite simple and intuitive.

 

FOR THE REAR CENTER CONSOLE

never done it my self but seen tom at lucent do it a few times alrady..

pop out the shifter housing.. there are scews there

pop out the ash tray screws there again

open the lid, remove the rubber, got a few more screws there..

the panel besides the handbrake jsut pop it out...

wiggle that **** out... after...

enjoy.. lake sure u dont loose no torx screws...

 

i've done all of these myself as well and are very straightforward.

for the rear center console, i'd get the pdf file from b&m for their short shifter install instructions. there are pics and it does help esp. if you are on your own.

torx set is a must and i got one very inexpensively at sears.

www.renntech.org is a great site and gave me a lot of pointers and schematics.

good luck, this will be a fun and relatively painfree upgrade

yes they are alumalook, but I need to send these out to get done in silver carbon fiber. They are being overnight air shipped soon as I get the trim around the nav out...which may be by tomorrow...everything else is is out thanks to everyones help

IMO alumalook is cheap looking...all it is is painted plastic...go CF Lou

 

John I have the stock black plastic parts, interested in a swap +$$$ ? Let me know and are those pieces around teh nav porsche parts or is it aftermarket. I don't think my Nav surround looks like that?? I do have several stock black parts, so let me know
