Installation Guides by Product Type
Carbon Trim (Dashboard / Door Panel)
Step 1: Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol/IPA. Wait until fully dry.
Step 2: Warm the back of the trim with a hair dryer for 30 seconds (don't overheat).
Step 3: Peel the 3M adhesive liner, align correctly before pressing.
Step 4: Press firmly for 30–60 seconds. Avoid touching for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully set.
Tip: Do this at room temperature (not under direct sunlight).
Armrest Organizer / Console Box
Step 1: Remove the original armrest (if applicable) or open the console box.
Step 2: Dry-fit the organizer first without adhesive to confirm it fits.
Step 3: Clean the surface, then secure the organizer using the included clips or adhesive.
Tip: For models without clips, 3M VHB double-sided tape provides the strongest hold.
Sensor Cover / Headlight Trim
Step 1: Clean the exterior of the sensor/headlight area with isopropyl alcohol.
Step 2: Align the cover with the sensor hole to confirm the fit before sticking.
Step 3: Press and hold for 1 minute.
Note: Ensure the cover does not fully block the sensor — there is a dedicated opening included.
How to Remove Old Accessories
For 3M adhesive items: Heat with a hair dryer (60–70°C) for 1–2 minutes. Pull slowly at a 45-degree angle using dental floss or fishing line.
For clip-on items: Use a plastic pry tool to gently pop out the clips.
For adhesive residue: Use Goo Gone or cooking oil to remove residue without scratching.
