Nice Frank, very nice. Very contemporary.


That must have been one helluva left turn to knock the trim off the car!

thanks.

the trim might've been popped loose when I had 4 ppl in the car earlier and then just flew off.

got the new trim, but still need to trim it so that it doesn't rub.

everything was fairly easy.

the center console I had it taken apart and put it back together in matter of 20min. taking apart the door panel and removing the original trim was pain mainly because I didn't have the proper tool to take off the back metal clips that was holding on to each of the 4 upper trim, so that took a while. Other than that putting it back was easy. I spent about 3 hrs on it, but if I had the tool to take those metal clips off faster I could've probably done it in hr and half...2 hr at most.
