I will say this -- getting the carbon fiber console trim piece lifted up is really hard. I was afraid I was going to break it.
Sounds like you were lucky. My carbon fiber trim was really really really hard to remove. Some of the clips dug into the pins on the trim piece and the tabs got bent up when the trim was pulled up. New clips are easy to get though. After I removed the trim, I cut off one tab from each clip so it's easy to remove now but seems to be secure enough.
