I bought a toolset for pulling interior panels from Amazon, and getting the dash and door pieces off was super easy. I'd say the dash is about the same difficulty as the door. All said for the dash and doors I spent less than an hour total, and that includes the panel removal, cleaning, cutting, wrap and reinstall.

The center trim requires the entire console be removed, which I have never done before. From what I read it's not that difficult, just a major pain in the boot. Debating whether I want to do CF on that or some other material.

I love that! Looks so much better :thumbup: Would you mind tell me what bulbs you used and are you just using the halos when you tun on the parking lights? Thanks

Sure thing. :) The bulbs are 40w Cree LEDs (2x20w) I picked up on eBay. Lots of options around, but I'm very happy with these. Only drawback, which has been every one of these LED bulb kits I've owned, is a loose plug. I used zip-ties to hold them snug.

The shots were taken with just the parking lights on - my "halo only" mode.

Thanks for the info, this is on my list after the front suspension refresh...

Trim looks great!

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Thanks all. :)

I've been debating doing a poor-man's build thread on my various tweaks, upgrades etc - try to be very specific with part numbers, links to stuff found/purchased, in-progress pics. I have a few mid-size things in mind for the car, but given I'm not doing a major rebuild is it worth it, or would a thread just be spam?

I feel like i'm always wanting to do something to the car aha,
as for the thread being spam, I wouldn't consider it; since I always like and enjoy looking at other people's e53s and what they've done to it. :thumbup:

Not bad for first timer.

Thanks. My wife loves cars, but there's no way she'd let me at her hair dryer. Some things are apparently sacred.
