Is anyone, or are you guys going to make up a DIY of the removal/installation? I know how to get the rear panels out and such, but for all the ones surrounding that piece I'm not 100% sure. The real bitch is gonna be taking out my sub box... again. :rofl2: :shakes head:

Give us a little to get a DIY up...basically all the side panels in the trunk need to come out and the plastics by where the seatbelt bolts up too. Also around the rear quarter glass, those plastics need to be pulled. Then the plastics that surround the bar. Then unbolt the bar, replace with new, and put all back together. Its really not too tough but I need to get better pics to do a proper DIY.

Sounds good, prolly wont be another month or two before I can do this. Are those pieces hard to remove/replace? i.e. do those plastic clips break if you pull them out just once?

No, not really hard at all...take your time and don't go tearing though everything and youll be fine.

Did you guys sell all of the door panel control inserts or do you have a set of those still laying around? I'd love to swap mine out...

If not, what would be the cost/turnaround time of shipping them to you, plus the silver ring? If thats not something you wanna discuss here, feel free to PM me the details. :tup:

Still got switch panels available...you got PM

Will the box you send them in fit a silver ring? Cause if so, I'll put them in and ship the silver ring back to you in that box...

:rofl2: Fair enough. Let me get home from my trip I'm on right now, and I'll lock in that last set of CF handle pieces. Next week. :tup: Then we can do the Ring after that.

So I don't see much interest in doing a group buy on these. So two of them are going up for sale'tonight. Just two for now, and will be doing a swap for stock bars in return.

XwChriswX 09-06-2011 06:33 PM

Grrr... if I can just get to the east coast and new employment settled I'd be all over one of these lol
