Interior Trim Swap (including center console)

I am about to swap out my brushed aluminum trim with the M Performance CF trim, including the center console piece.

I've reviewed the numerous threads on here regarding interior trim swaps, but I couldn’t find one that covers it all. So far I’ve completed the dashboard pieces without issue, to include the iND red start/stop button. I also swapped the shifter trim to CF as well.

I will be doing the knee-pad mod as well, but I found a few threads detailing that job.

Can you provide tips/pointers to doing the doors and center console piece?
Thanks!

This is for the center trim, very easy just be gentle and work your way through from top right-left...




This second video is for replacing the speakers but you can see how to take the door panels off and then unscrew the trim..

Violator , Center console is piece of cake. I cover it briefly in my Knee Pad DIY.
Door Panel, follow the BavSound video that sbinshihon posted.

Violator, could I get that stock plastic gear shifter cover off your hands? Mine has a small scratch.

sbinshihon and r33_RGSport , thanks for he help. I knocked out the center console swap in about 5 min total. I’ll wait on the doors and just drive mismatched until I can spare a day.

LocksmithNick, pm sent.

I finally finished the interior mods:
- M Performance CF Trim swap (from brushed aluminum)
- CF center console trim
- CF shifter trim
- iND red Start/Stop button
- F16 Knee pads
- LED door sills

The trim and knee pads are the most difficult to tackle. The doors took the most time and effort, you have to remove each door panel. The knee pads proved to be a difficult task as well, but doable in 2-3 hours (make sure and follow RGSport’s DIY).
I’ll post some pics soon.
Cheers!

Nice, so what are you going to do with your brushed aluminum trims?
My Aluminum Hexagon got so many scratches and thinking to change to different one.

I intend on keeping it to swap when I sell it. It’s in great condition for the most part, a couple small scratches though.

Let us know what you think about the RC, I hate the lack of transperancy from them.

I loved the RCU, I’m sure this version will be equal to or even better. I’ll post an update with a quick review once I install it and use it for a few weeks.

Violator, if you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase the M-Sport CF interior trim?
