Yeah, I had to replace 2 pieces. There's weak spots on the trim that will crease if you take them off to forcefully or at the wrong angle. I'll show you if you want and bend yours up in the process lol

I saw your bent trim when I was there. Pretty bad! .

I'll end up using gloss black vinyl on mine.

It actually wasn't that bad which is why I took it to Tony to talk to him about getting the small dings out.

Just like other vinyl wrapped mods, paint always looks better.

Levon, yeah just a lil' here and there... trying to get the total package together. i plan on eventually getting some racing seats reupholstered to match the OEM wheat interior VS redoing everything.

thanks Marcus, from all the feedback i've been getting, this may end up being pretty popular for wheat equipped guys.

Nice Mark, can't wait to see more.

Here's a lil update. Beginning of project mink...



Originally decided to do a mink/velvet combo but now I'm gonna do all out mink so the pillars and sunroof will get redone. I'm thinking of doing the entire dash. Probably will do the center console. Haven't quite planned it all out yet.

Look what I did. It was a learning experience. Glad its only 20 bolts and not like the other where its 40. lol btw I always thought it was a 3 piece. Well it is, but the barrel and lips is welded so it makes it a 2 piece.

Nice Ernie, polish all of those bolts while you have them off. What color are you going with for the faces?
