You have probably figured it out by now, but I know the stock '03 OZ lancers have them.... I put mine in my evo out out of my OZ and it looks a lot better!

well i started to do my interior and i made a couple passes of pre-spraying to get the paint up to the nozzle which all went well.......then i started to paint my pieces and the can started dripping and spattering everywhere. so now i am at the step of removing paint and trying again with another can that actually works correctly. hope no one has to experiance this....it was a big let down

I have done the A-pillers, C-pillers, and both roof light trims. I will be doing the roofliner and the "OH S*@T" handles.

I dont quite know how to take off the B-pillers.

As far as the C-pillers are concerned, You have to take out the rear seat. Once you take that out, you will be able to just pull the C-piller out. You have to take out the rear seat because the back part of the seat will prevent you from pulling out the very bottom clip that holds the piller in. It only took me about 5 minutes to take out the seats and pull out both pillers.

I could use help with the B-pillers if anyone can do a write up about that...

I am using the Dupli Color and the paint is coming out very nice. I did this a couple days ago but have not installed yet. I am wiating to install when I get the B-pillers out and painted.

Okay. I just figured out how to take off the B-piller. It is a lot easier than I thought. All you need is a 17mm socket and a ratchet.
1. Take off both front and rear kick panels. Just pull them off.
2. Pull off the bottom section of the B-piller.
3. Pull off the front cover to the seat belt. You will se a 17mm bolt that holds it in place.
4. Remove bolt and the seat belt assy. comes right off.
5. Pull out and up on the upper part of the B-piller
and Viola... The B-piller is removed.

Hope it helps.

Something else...
If you are looking to paint, the slide that is behind the B-piller just pulls right out from the top, making it a lot easir to paint.

I don't know if anyone else has made any other suggestions on the interior paint, but I will say the paint used by the OP is OK at best. It scratches very easy and that's kind of a bad thing on some of these parts.

I used the same paint as the OP for my interior and noticed how much it scratched.

I decided to try out another paint and went looking for something suitable. I found this:

http://www.yourautotrim.com/satinblack.html


Pretty soon I can post a picture comparison. I tested the SEM paint on the visors in my brother's 92 Civic and a few pieces in his TT Supra. They look GREAT and seem to be much more resilient than the paint originally suggested by the OP. It sucks that you have to order it and can't just pick it up at Advance or something. But I think it's a much better interior paint.

I'm getting my headliner redone and so I painted some parts black if you take a piece of tape and put it on there, then pull off it removes the paint!


I sanded too! Perhaps I will try to use primer although I thought I wouldn't need it on plastics...

Any input would be great.
