nope, they pop right out from the front, I just use a trim tool to get under the bezel and it comes right out.

I had to open that side compartments and pop them off from the back.
I have some plastic trim tools, but I couldn't get it deep enough to get anything to lift. Plus I was afraid I Was going to break it.

I have been playing with different carbon fiber designs on my Vararam cover, so far this is my favorite. I also liked just running a straight line of it down the middle...
Once I decide on the cf, the cover will get a high gloss clear coat.

Thank you! Really, you think it looks good? I thought it was a really unique design.

I gotta poke a hole and stretch the bolt indentations down...

Looks nice man! How was it to work with? So you plan to clear right over top of the vinyl?

Actually, it isn't to bad, I just had to get used to it. It takes alittle bit of heat to mold it, but too much heat and it gets stretched and ruined. Plus, if you have to reposition it too much it doesn't stick anymore which means starting over...
I used 2.5' x 6' just learning this stuff!

I would need more practice and a large dose of patience to use this on my dash. :)

Yes, I am gonna spray clear coat right over it. I am gonna wait a couple days and make sure I am happy with the pattern, though.

Ok, here is the custom battery cover, designed by me and made by 3gCustomz, covered in 4D carbon fiber vinyl.

I think so. :) They need a nice thick glossy clearcoat. I want them to look like this:

I designed the battery cover and had 3gCustomz make it out of raw steel. The pcm cover is from a 1997 Wrangler, ordered off ebay (needs a little trimming to make it work on the Ram).
