New tips for interior trim swap
1. Follow the console removal instructions in the faq - great writeup. 2. The trim panel covering the CD player has 3 lock washers fastening it the the plastic moving panel. I recommend first removing the radio, then the CD, then the moving panel in order to be able to pry these lock washers off, which also break easily. Home Depot and Menards do not carry replacement washers - I found them at Ace Hardware. 3. The trim covering the front ashtray and the trim covering the rear cup holders are screwed in. 4. Overall, to remove all pieces of trim, I needed Torx 8, 15 & 20. 5. Using a flat blade screwdriver to pop out trim may cause unnecessary damange to trim or X5 - I liked using a wallboard knife. I hope this helps someone before they try to pry off any trim that is screwed in.

how much would it cost me to change my dark wood to light wood? How much did you pay, and how do I get a hold of Morristown? Thanks.

Light Poplar Trim
F.Y.I. I currently put a complete set of light poplar trim up for sale on EBAY. It is in excellent condition.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...7111127&rd=1,1 Too bad you didn't post this question a couple weeks ago - I would have swapped trim with you. New trim costs about $1,500. A used set in excellent condition goes for about $300-$350. I opted to go with purchasing a used set and then selling mine, instead of purchasing all new trim. It is much cheaper. David Quote:

You can also purchase a plastic putty knife which may be even better. I know I have a few around the shop that I purchased from Home depot and they are fantastic for jobs like this!
