Default Wood trim on door panel- how do I remove it ?

Been a long time since I’ve been on here. But I’ve been loving my $1000 SC430. My current project for it is to cover the wood trim in carbon fibre look vinyl wrap. The centre console and the wood trim on the dash is looking good (picture attached of attempt 1 - some imperfections but attempt 2 has made them look perfect.). Next step is the wood trim on the door panels. Do they pop off like the dash trim or do I need to remove the entire panel?

You have to remove the entire panel. That panel is screwed in. Good luck. Looks nice.

Thank you Paul.

I'll be wrapping it this week (and re-foaming my speakers). Will post pics of when it's done!

Yes it did. The photo of course doesn't do it justice. I really like the black wood trim they used on some too. Buying all the pieces really isn't an option though.😢

Completely agreed. Although the birds eye maple looked good, it was dating the vehicle. After wrapping it in carbon fibre vinyl and upgrading the head unit to a 10” android with CarPlay. It’s really made it look more modern.
