    Carbon Fiber (The poor mans way)

    So the old saying "A mod a day keeps the mod bug away". Im addicted to modding ...

    More or less what the interior looked like before (The wood trim) and After.


    What I had to destroy!!!!


    End product


    Lessons learned:

    -Know how to take the shifter nob off beforehand... Mine is loose now, and the emblem at the top is off. DAMMIT!!!!

    -It will not come out perfect

    -Heat gun should stay away 4 - 6 inches, or you risk melting the sticker and starting all over again

    -Use sharp razors, no scissors or knives!

    -Be careful when removing the center console, you may snap stuff.

    -Dont get screws mixed up or lost...

    -Dont rub to hard or you risk fading the carbon fiber.

    -Edges are a pain the in arse to do!

    -Patience is a virtue, no getting red face or you will break something.

    -Remember the order for your top buttons... seriously...

    -Remember to connect everything, TAKE YOUR TIME!!!!

    You can learn how to do all that and more by checking past threads at Club202, and for videos, check out W201n202 on Youtube, he has lots of helpful videos for the W202 and the center console removal.

    Good luck!
