swaping trim's

[brendan1990]

hey guys, me and another person from ozhonda, are thinking of swaping our interior's i have red, and he has black has anyone done this before? cause apparently getting the carpet and trim around the centre console out is a pain in the ass and needs the dash removed also if this is true, has anyone done it before?

Yeah, it's major pain in the arse and a fairly large task. Yeah you virtually require to strip the whole interior out the remove the carpet properly. You may be able to do it without pulling the dash out, but i think it would be quicker and easier with it out. I you do proceed with the swap, best to get yourself a clip remover, as no doubt you'll snap quite a few clips. Good luck.

sounds like fun - clip removers available at Honda I guess? is there anywhere else? I snapped like 5 clips running wires the other week - annoying as.

tried searching on s2ki for a carpet removal DIY but came up with nothing. if anyone's got any links, do share!

if it can be cut and swapped without being visible, I don't see why that should be a problem.

go get a quote asking them to swap trims around? Just a suggestion but goodluck! =]

As if pay someone to do this, it's not even technically "hard" it's just time consuming

instructions are about 2/5 of the way down.

Get together with the person swapping the trim and I'm sure you guys should be fine.

Just follow the above links and take your time...

Asking for a quote wont hurt, but I wonder how much will they charge? lol

This.

ok well it seems to be time consuming lol, the carpet doesnt seem to be that hard, rather the material around the centre console seems to be the trickiest, i dont have a problem with removing some of the dash im jsut afriad off if it gets to messy with the steering wheel, i have seen people work on steering wheels before and there is alot to consider about the way the air bag and the way the steering wheels sits

yeah, need to see if there's a better alternative. i'd rather not go to the trouble of pulling the wheel and dash if we dont have to. it'll all become clearer when we start to take the interior apart.

ill do some prying and poking sometime soon to see exactly how that console carpet's held there. there's supposed to be 2 bolts under the dash that are a PITA to get too. just have to wait and see, lol
