Fake CF Trim Pieces

[raptorsub]

What do your stock trim pieces look like? Similiar to "paltinum' with brushed aluminum?

Yep. I had the few factory carbon pieces. Like the center piece behind the door lever, shifter, and center piece below the control panel on the dash. These cal pony pieces really complete and tie it all together.

Wow that must have expensive but it looks amazing. Are they easy to put on? How do you do it? I looked it up put couldn’t fine any videos

It def was a little cost but I liked them better than using cover pieces. They all just snap in. I just used a plastic panel puller set I had. I just looked at the new pieces and gauged how they would snap in and out. For the center console/dash pieces I just looked up videos on how to remove the screen on F150's. Found several videos of how that all comes apart.

Which one of these did you get? It looks like one comes with new air vents and one doesn’t.


Edit - nvm I think one comes with backup assist.

You don't have to remove the screen. But the videos of people removing the screen showed how they popped those center console and dash pieces out. To get the trim pieces on either side of the screen out. You first have to remove the large center console piece.

Thank you

And once you take off the trim all you have to do is snap them in or is there any screws involved?

You just transfer the plastic snaps from the tabs on the old pieces to the new ones. Then just snap them back in place. For the air vents and the center console pieces you also transfer over the little other trim piece that is there. I don't remember exactly now. But I think on the piece for the trailer back up assist I did something to better secure the module/button thing in better because I wanted it to fit tighter than it was. Otherwise it was a pretty easy job.
