iowasuby Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I told my Subie dealer I would not buy my LGT with the wood trim...they changed it to the silver no charge. http://homepage.mac.com/sohl/.Pictures/LGT_drvr.jpg The silver looks soooo much better than the fake wood. I tried to do the same thing with my dealership but they wouldn't budge, so I had them take $300 off the price instead. I'm now ordering the carbon fiber from the 2011 and will install myself. I wish they would have just done it for me, then they buy anything they break. You definitely did it the right way sohlman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faded-a-fool Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Would anyone have the part numbers for the dash pieces? I found the part numbers for the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowasuby Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is anyone still interested in trading the faux wood for silver? I wanted the new carbon fiber trim pieces out of the 2011 LGT but Fred Beans quoted me $333 + shipping for 7 pieces. Or..does anyone know what the dealer charges if you order the silver?

Dayum, thats too much for me. I may just cover the faux wood with some vinyl If i can't find anyone to trade for silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the faux wood. Breaks up the off blacks and grays. 2011 Volvo S60T6 & 2013 Volvo XC60T6 Polestar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowasuby Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I like the faux wood. Breaks up the off blacks and grays. I agree and it would look fantastic on a 2.5i Limited or 3.6R Premium or Limited, it just seems out of place on my GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the silver pieces cost less than the CF ones, probably worth checking into. Then sell your wood ones for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to just buy the silver. I need the part numbers for the dash trim. Was only able to find the L & R door trim pieces. Would you happen to know the part numbers for the dash pieces Rutchard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowasuby Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I'm swapping out my faux wood trim for the silver today. I have the doors done, glove box and the piece to the left of the steering column. Here's my question, how in the hell do you get the piece out to the right of the steering column, just behind and above the ignition? I have all of the lower dash off, but I cannot for the life of me get that little freaking triangle piece out. I can get my hand behind there, but no leverage to unscrew the damn thing. Did anyone take that entire piece out, or what did people do? The other directions in this thread were fantastic, thank you for posting those. UPDATE: uh...hypothetical question. If you dropped a screwdriver behind the radio/HVAC area, should you be concerned? Would you tear the whole thing apart to get it out of there? Any concern it will interfere with something, rattle or cause a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_houck Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 haha hypothetical. i would be a little concerned considering there are blend door motors and other moving parts around that area. might also cause a rattle but that wont do anything except be bothersome.

Ugh...I didn't realize there were moving parts back there. I'm pretty sick to my stomach right now. I can't believe I dropped that screwdriver. Parts were 90% installed. *sigh* I'm going to try a magnetic snake tomorrow, maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the response. On top of that, I closed it all up with 6 new silver trim pieces installed and 1 freaking woodgrain piece left because I could not get it unscrewed from the dash.

brad_houck Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 have you tried getting it from underneath? idk how far it dropped down but it might be easier to pull the panels back from the bottom and reach up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, tried from underneath, I can get a screwdriver on it, but there's no leverage to actually turn the thing and the space is barely larger than my hand. Oh..and I lost the decent screwdriver I had.

BigBopper Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 You need to take off the trim surrounding your NAV or Radio to get to a front mounting screw to remove the trim piece that holds the little triangle trim. http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab160/BigBopper_01/LGT/DashTrim.jpg I'm swapping out my faux wood trim for the silver today.

iowasuby Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Has someone posted how to remove the trim piece around the radio somewhere? A search hasn't proven useful yet. Thanks for the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrbo Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hey guys, what is the name of the tool used to remove Clip A? Alrighty, just got home and now I've got access to my manual Front door: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcard1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcard2.jpg Rear door: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcards4.jpg How to disconnect the cables for the door handle and lock on both front and rear doors. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/CarPics/installs/doorcards3.jpg I didn't go quite in the alphabetical order they listed, I started at the back corner of the door card and got the bottom row of clips out, then went up the sides in the order listed. Don't forget to remove the screws by the door handle and lock! I broke a door card on a different car once because I forgot about those screws...

svxy Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I like the new wood look and was thinking about the maple, but after looking at the original Subaru, I like the red tones of it much better. If anyone out there is still in the market to swap my silver for their wood I would be interested. Dogging the Subaru fake wood is ironic when folks praise the new fake vinyl wood add on.

Just goes to show you how bad you can f it up when you lose attention to detail. Nobody cares if it's vinyl, just give us plausible deniability.
