DIY Video - Removing Interior Pieces + Carbon Fiber-ization

Follow at your own risk, you have been warned.
I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your car.


Just a little video I made for my youtube series, showing how to remove the interior pieces, and the steps I took to give them a (cheesy) carbon fiber look.

The DIY was interesting and entertaining for me, but not my cup of tea.
Seems like alot of prep work to have a fake CF look, but to each their own

For the cost difference and cosmetic appeal, I prefer Alcantara covered pieces or real CF layovers

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I guess you can say this project w/ video were mostly for entertainment purposes.

I'm thinking about re-doing them in something other than CF once my next paycheck comes in though.

Any suggestions ?

Appreciate the info for how to take out the trim pieces. They're usually pretty easy like you said, but knowing where to pry can save some ugly mars. And I haven't seen that water transfer (not as a DIY at least, saw it on How It's Made once).

Yeah the only thing I would add is wrap the end of the screw driver with electrical tap to avoid any scrapes or gouging
