Thanks for the info, how hard was it to do the cup holder?

not too hard but you have to take the whole "cupholder" apart then take the trim off

its really easy to do. if you want to try to take the trim apart without taking everything apart, take a credit card and stick it between the trim and the black piece. Once you have it in, just drag it all around. its attached with 6 clips, 3 up front and 3 in the back

it wasn't hard hard. it was just very time consuming due to be very careful. one slip and you're going to bleed BAD

Welcome to CL

Great job with the carbon fiber. It looks great.


For those of us now considering this project do you have any other advice? Is there anything you wish you would've done differently? Is it possible to remove once applied?
