Parts Removal

[gbrown27]

Im looking to wrap the brushed aluminum parts in the interior. If anyone has done this, is it easier to remove the parts or just do it.

If its easier to remove, how do you remove the parts, this is my first rodeo with trim removal

If you are referring to the trim pieces that go around the shifter and the cup holders (I think the 2013's have brushed aluminum instead of chrome) I would take off the center bezel (shifter/cupholder piece). It makes for a much easier disassembly and you don't have to worry about breaking the pieces because they are not very sturdy. All you have to do is take a screw driver (I wrapped mine in duct tape to avoid scratching) and pry the back of the bezel up. It will pop up fairly easily, then you can look underneath to unlatch the trim pieces.

The brushed is part of the blue accent interior. Otherwise you get stuck with chrome
