Pillar removal
Hey i am making my own cf stuff and i need to know how to remove my pillars. i want to do all of them. i cant find a bently, haynes or etc instructin book for the lancer so i figure i will ask the pro's lol. n e ways once i make them it will be nice. i have already made my armrest and its sweet. i don't want requests for stuff cuz i am not sure if i will make them for others until i have my own. i figure my business card will be my own car. ne ways i will make some heatshields and other fun stuff in the meanwhile but i really want to make these pillars all of them a b and c

wait, lemme get this straight, you can make all your own carbon fiber stuff, you have the knowlage to fabricate the size the dimensions and everything, but removing the pillars is presented to you as a challenge? sorry, just found that odd

use a panel tool and just pry it off. Its metal clamps behind it, theres nothing really back there unless you have a sunroof watch for the wires. Just be careful and pay attention, dont go at it with a pry bar.

Blowtorch and jackhammer.
...it pulls right off. Start up by the headliner. There's a tab or two under the dash but they come right out without much effort.

handmemyarms, i wasn't sure if there are any screws or anything behind it. i want to keep my stock ones just incase and i am mostly unsure of how to get the pillars where the seatbelts conncect off. i prob could just pop off the seatbelt cover thing unscrew it, take the seatbelt off, then pop off the pillar cover butttttt i want to make sure. and as for making your own cf stuff, its not hard. all it takes is some start up funds that your willing to waste and learn with.

Oh right...I forgot about the B pillars, but I haven't removed those yet. A and C just pop off though. I can't remember if the trunk deck needs or come off for the C pillars though.
