Interior CF trim question

Ch1 · 03-22-2020, 11:29 PM

Can OEM part be added on a used car that did not have it originally? How difficult or expensive would it be to install? Was looking to buy used ZLE but most do not have them

Do you mean the passenger side dash piece? Easy to swap out if you want. Not too expensive either.

Yes that thing. Will it just go on top of suede part or should it be removed prior?

No the suede part pops out and the carbon piece replaces it. Check this quick video:

It's a very easy swap. I did it on my car.

That was easier than I thought but haven’t decided to change mine yet. I don’t have a problem with my suede dash insert and I don’t have $500.00 to spend now on the CF one!

It's more like $234 + shipping, definitely not cheap but nowhere near $500.

Okay arpad_m, but it still isn’t on my bucket list to do anytime soon or at all!��

Oh shit, there goes another $250, lol.
Thanks guys!

Must resist till I buy a new set of wheels.

New wheels is the next buy for sure Snowwolfe. MRR M228 as soon as they come out in forged.

I know, right

(They have been rock solid and very helpful for years, except for my latest order in January; one item was mistaken for another and they quite unusually stopped communicating about it, eventually agreeing to refund that one item via Paypal without ever reaching out to me. Maybe it's the virus or some other difficulty they had, I don't know.)

I really like the suede one, CF looks legit too! I'll keep mine suede as I dont want the reflections in the cabin. If it was Matte carbon though... omg.
