Default OCarbon trim installed

Fed Ex arrived today with my new trim pieces from Matt at OCarbon.
I like the look and the quality is very good.
Cant wait for my door sills and I will be asking Matt about doing the remaining trim.
Oh, even my wife approved of this frivolous expense!

It took about three weeks. Matt is waiting for the sill cores and once he makes a mold I should see my sills shortly thereafter.

cheers

Remind your wife that she can use the cup holders as stirrups!

How easy was the removal of the old trim, and install of the carbon pieces?
Looks great.

Good idea, they have to be good for something!

It was very easy to remove the trim. They all just pop out. I used a thin plastic spatula type tool. just slide it between the gap and they pop right out.

thanks

nice job!! the cup holder trim piece just popped out easily also?

would be nice to find someone to put leather on those trim pieces, instead of paying the $1500 Porsche wants (or the even higher price exclusive leathers)

the black shoes are nice for the wife, but red is better for GF......u wont get them mixed up either.

The cupholder unit pulls out. You need to remove the trim piece to the right
of the cupholder unit. Then open the cupholder flap and pull out from the left side then the right. I made sure that i applied the pressure on the actual unit as opposed to the flap.
these are the instructions I followed
http://www.macarbon.com/install_guid...stallation.pdf

The cost for the 5 pieces of trim which includes the gear lever surround and the door sills was $1,800.00. I'm pretty pleased with the look and Ive asked Matt for a price to do the remaining trim on the doors.
His e mail is "Matt Johnson" <matt@ocarbon.com>
