On the inside of an Rx8 there's all the silver pieces that are trimming, like around the air con vents, were the cd player is theres 2 silver trimming pieces running parallel to eachother on either side of the volume. Running down the middle were the E brake is and Auto/Manual transmission, on either side there are 2 silver trimming linings about 2 inches thick and a few feet long from front seats to back seats. The Trimming around the spedometer is all silver, i think you get the idea by now.

What i want to do is take all that trimming off, paint it a diff color than put it back on, my question is has anbody ever done this before? And if so are there any precautions i need to take whilst doing it... for example : "Theres bolts behind object A and B" or theres secret little latches you gota release before trying to take it off...IE the center of the car on both sides of were the ebrake and auto/manual is located.

Much appreciated with feed back if anybody has ever done this or tried this or thought of doing it =D

 

there are people that have done most of that before i dont think ive ever seen any one do the trim around the guages yet though. I plan on doing the center strips.

 

Alright so... the center strips DEFINITELY HAVE to be bolted on or some **** i was messing around with it last night... they are pretty locked on, as for the spedo trim, that partially comes off, i think it might be glued on atm, or it might have 1 of those cheapo plastic clip in the hole things randomly places around it

 

I got my spedo off, ive spray painted it a dark metalic red :D

Ill link photos when im done... i gota take up the center console to get the main strips out.. im going down to my mazda dealer on thursday for some break problems... ill get them to take out my air con vents so i can spray them up :D
