im looking forward to swapping my interior with someone else. im putting tan interior bits in my 02 berlina, and vice versa, my black interior in 03 gpw.

anyone have any tips or help on this? i think its just the seats, carpet, console liner, and door panels.

 

just be carefully pulling things apart as not to break clips. have a service manual or helms in case you can't figure out how to removed something

 

yeah i understand its just a lot of plastic clips that hold everything in place.

ive gone thru the .pdf version of the s2000 manual.

ppl have recommended a clip puller tool. is that worth finding?

yes and not, i used a home made version of the clip puller but half of those ended up snapped in half.

just buy a bag of those little suckers at honda before the swap, oh, of course get the plugs in your interior color

 

i remember seeing a rio yellow with the suzuka interior, id love to see some pics of that if at all possible

 

- Don't expect the door handles to come off after taking off the 2 screws. There's 2 in the back too.

- Console liner reaches all the way under the dash. I trimmed mine off just a bit past where the leather stopped

- I would use an actual clip puller, but get a good dig on them or else you'll just snap the heads off.

wait, so the console liner doesnt come completely out without taking the dash out or something? i dont want to have to cut anything, i dont think either i or the guy im swapping with are comfortable with that. please explain.

theres like 5 different kinds of clips, which ones were the most difficult?

 

The console trims goes ALL THE WAY under the dash, around the metal bracing that holds your stereo. Lot's of disassembly to keep it in one piece.

The clips with the push-in or pull-out centers are easy, but none of them hold interior trim down. They're mostly if not all pull-break-and-replace clips. Buy a bag like ^^^^^ says.

 

are all the breakable ones the same?

and are they color matched?

 

They should all be the same. And yes they are color matched.
