Replacing My Interior Trim
 
I wanted to get a sportier look in my X's interior, the dark wood was not cutting it anymore. So I picked myself up a Titanium Silver Interior Trim Kit off of ebay.

To install on the doors and on the dash simply pry off the original trim pieces and snap in the new ones. Its virtually plug-n-play. I plan on tackling the center console later in the week once the temperatures dip out of the triple digits! I will be sure to take plenty of pictures as I go through that process.

Anybody happen to know what size torx wrenches I will need to tackle the center console?

Excellent, THANK Tom! Any idea how long the uninstall should take me?

1 second ... LOL J/K
It may take up from 20 min-45 min.

You will also need a small long torx for the ashtray lid - if I remember correctly it is a T7

I had a couple of free hours today so I started to remove the center console. Wow, what a pain the arse to remove! It was 100 degrees outside so I was working slower than what I should have been, but I didn't get it removed in time, so I had to partially put it back together.

It might just be easier to pay somebody to do it!
