Can this be taken off?

I just put CF overlay on my dash



I was wondering if this can come off where I have circled in red. not the buttons just those plastic pieces around the buttons



You think I should put a CF overlay on those??

Sorry for the bad pics they were taken off my iphone

Yea dude, I think there is a little slot in the bottom of them where you pop them up like the door pulls.

Not hard. Cost me 30 bucks free shipping for 4 feet which was just enough to get all that done plus all 4 door pieces done as well.

Its got a carbon fiber texture to it called a " 3d texture" so it feels like carbon fiber and not some vinyl overlay.

Ebay.

yep those come off. You gotta remove the steering wheel, then airbag and remove the horn assembly. Then theres a few screws to take out from the back.

taking the airbag out isnt a big deal. just be sure to unhook your battery and there is no chance of it going off on you. 2 screws holding it in, 2 clips for the harness and its out.
