Has anyone removed their OEM wood trim?
All:
My OEM wood trim, having been replaced once under warranty, needs to be replaced AGAIN. That's one of the fun things about Superblack with black interior.
So this time, it ain't under warranty, and I wanted to try it myself. I feel confident I could install a Joshua Tree kit myself. . . But the removal of the old is just scary.
Any tips?
Thanks!

I removed my wood trim and installed one from Joshua tree... It was a pain in the a** removing the old kit!!! I used a blow dryer to get the piece hot and loosen up the glue and also some glue remover and peeled it off. The old glue will really stick and it's quite a mess... I think there is a sticky somewhere on this. The install was pretty straight forward. My advise though is to take your time with the whole project. Once you stick the new piece on, even the smallest corner, you can't remove it without ruining the piece. The new kit looks great, after I finally installed it!!
Good luck!

pushing a 99 SE, it has a dark wood grain trim around all the ****. when i got it from the used dealer some o fthe trim pieces were sun damaged and coming off. i've used an Alltool blade to take some of the pieces off when i get out of work and the interior has been baking. eventually i'll take a blowdryer or heatgun to that shizz. i've seen some interior kits on ebay for fairly cheap ($30?). figure once i get all the pieces off redo them with a straight black kit. eff the fake woodgrain, keep it clean and smooth.

I have the fake 'wood' but it looks more like marble. I would never choose the option if I was buying a new car but had no choice (bought used) and have grown to like it.
I've never removed it but when I got my sound system installed I saw the guy rip it off with ease so I assume it's quite easy and fairly durable (i.e. he pryed it off with a mini crow bar).
