quick interior trim question

anyone know how to remove the interior wood trim? I found the DIY for removing the center trim but how can you remove the trim on the front and back doors?

i want to paint them piano black or do a CF layer on them..
any help appreciated. thanks.

you will have to take off the door panels. likely they are screwed from behind

Someone has already installed the black birds eye maple in a black interior GS. All he did was source the trim panels from a junked GS and transferred them over. You will have glue some of the wood trim back onto the door.

you can find them. People total cars all of the time. I think it sounds like a really cool idea. I personally went with the gray leather just to get the black birds eye maple, because it looks custom to me. I am not a fan of straight wood trim. I like the unique. My last car had a 46 pc carbon fiber interior kit so I wanted something that looked cutom or unusual in the new car. Good luck with it man. Post pics when you get it all set up
