Question replacing interior trim

I've been searching for videos that show how to replace interior trim items, such as the central console Gear shift panel trim, dashboard strips, window lift panel switch trim and rear outlet vent panel trim.

I'm thinking about replacing the gloss black trim with this will titanium blue trim available on eBay [ https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...90.m4084.l1313 ] but I'm wondering how hard it is to remove the existing pieces to replace them.

If you are interested in selling your gloss black trim pieces, let me know.

I think these stick onto your existing trim therefore you do not need to remove anything.

Some pieces stick on, but others are actual replacement parts. I've ordered just a vent frame which sticks on, so I can see the quality and colour, to determine whether I actually want to go ahead with it.

Will do. It won't be any time soon, but perhaps in a few weeks. Which ones do you have that you'd be replacing?

I have the gloss wood ash gray. I don't mind it, but the entire theme of my car is white and gloss black, so the gloss black interior would be perfect.

I think that was a smart move as, hmm I'm not sure about the quality an the finish of it. Although I'll wait until you have a piece in hand before calling full judgement.

Yeah, the piece I did order is coming from Amazon instead of eBay so I can return return it if it's crap.
