That video is true but thats because he took it apart a million times. When I was doing retro took me 10 minutes to remove it the first time. After I started testing the headlights and whatnot it took me few seconds to disconnect it everytime, never needed a screw driver for it after.

Baking them is easy, I was so worried when I did mine but it came out MUCH easier than expected.

Please paint it glossy black, flat looks too plasticy and dull.

When I did mine I liked it flat black (primer only) then I decided to proceed with black paint, so glad I did

I wanted the flat because I wanted it to be set apart from the glossy black of the bumper and hood of the car. I'd honestly still like flat black to be contrasting but buying two diff types of flat black paint and going through the entire process it always looks good in overcast or dim light but then way too gray in sunlight.

Finished my CF wrap mod. Just wanted to do the aluminum center console for now. I'd do the door pulls if I had black interior and door panels but to me the CF would look weird on my slate interior.

It wouldn't look any more weird than the CF center console, which looks good btw.
