Weekend Project! Full Carbon Install.. and Pedals (PICS)

Rob (996) came over and the three of us, Justin, Rob, & Myself tore the hole car apart installling Rob's CF interior... He ordered everything from Foreign Affairs.. great prices and great service!!..
. Here is his list of Parts... We had a great time!!!

CF Wheel,
CF Defroster & AC Vents
CF Entry Guards,
CF Center Console
CF Brake
CF Shifter
CF Bins & Handels
CF Boomerang Cluster
CF Upper Center Console
CF Batwing
CF Speaker Grills
CF Dash Strips
Aluminum Trim Rings
RUF Pedals
He is awaiting the Airbag..

Some Before & After Pics








Oh boy!!!






Justin came up with a new way to remove the old dash strips..
Take the new strip and look to see where the exsiting screw holes are, then drill holes so you can see the heads.. Then we did the same as my car, get a soldering gun and heat up the end of the screw tips, it gets the area around the tip hot and you can pry the strip right out...




I didn't know that just the brake pedal was metal, clutch is a hard plastic material..



And the concludes our broadcast day!

yeah right, you might work for cheap, but everytime I c u you end up costing me more money with your modification ideas....Is there anything left to modify or are we finally finshed. Thanks for your hospitality and posting the pics and Justin's and your expertise, and all the help, and the wonderful dinner and the smoked honey sausages...... and most of all, being a great friend.
