To add - when you put it all back together, you don't need to screw in the screws beneath the knee pads, nor any of the clips on the large dash panel (just screw in the four screws within the radio bezel area and the one T-clip at the end of the long panel). This makes it much easier to remove in the future.

Also, I've had the woods, piano black and aluminum, and they all blind me with sunlight at certain angles. Nothing like carbon fiber...

What about the carbon leather dash? I've got the aluminum trim, would love the black carbon leather though

$$$$

Would be cheaper to cover the aluminum with snipe hide.

I painted mine, heres the link. Not sure if you want to paint it or not but it looks much nicer then wrap or plasti-dip or something like that. Wrap or vinyl looks cheap sometimes especially when its done poorly. Mine came out really nice and with a wetsand and buff it would have been nicer than oem finish especially if you take the time to spray it out of a spray gun.
