It only took about 30 minutes to install all 14 individual parts.

See Post #12 above.

Here are the "schematics" of the parts I got.

Factory "Cover Up" Kit covers all FX4 simulated Carbon Fiber..



Plus the Door Switch Panel and Shifter Console Kit...



Plus Item #s 7, 8, 21, 22, 23 from this kit.. (ended up not using 7 and 8 )

Hi Guys,

Some of you may remember a thread I started a few weeks ago about installing some "Titianium" (Satin Nickel) Interior trim ( https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=222402 ). My initial idea was to do the Chrome interior trim and I talked myself out of it, I instead went with the Titianium color trim for the doors and shifter area. It looked great, but the Chrome interior kept haunting me so I decided to go all out and get the complete Chrome Cover up Kit (covers all the factory "carbon fiber" on dash and doors) plus the shifter console surround and console latch/rear cup holder trim.

This stuff it hard to photograph and the pictures do not do it any jstice but will give you an idea as to how it looks.. There are more photos in my gallery


PURE HOTNESS Do you still have the "Titianium" (Satin Nickel) Interior door trim? If so would you be wiling to sell it to me? THANKS

Hi Tuff,

>PURE HOTNESS

Thanks!

Unfortunately the only 2 trim items that survived the removal process was the 2 rear door switch panel covers... the very ones you wouldn't need :-(

Tuff,

>Oh well, thanks anyways

I actually had you in mind when I tried to get the other items off without damaging them.

> That interior kit ties in with the exterior of your truck awesome

Yes that was part of my motivation, I thought heck the outside is already "over the top", might as well make the interior "over the top" also :-) It also ties in nicely with the stock chrome rings around the vents, the chrome door handles, the chrome shift **** cap, and the chrome shift indicator surround etc..

> Nice job Bro......

Thanks again!

Looks good, where did you get that two tone steering wheel cover from. Anyhow nice work, wish I could do that but I know I'd be wiping it down every 2 hours.

It came on my FTX, but Wood Corp makes those, they are $250-350 or so exchange.

>Anyhow nice work,

Thanks.

So far it is not as bad as you would think. It doesn't seem to fingerprint any different than the factory chrome inner door handles and console shifter chrome trim.

Kick,

>danggg...looks good!!

Thanks.

>thats a lot of chrome. Id be scared of it reflecting me every 2 seconds.

It really isn't bad at all due to the angles. You don't even notice it when driving.. after you get over looking at it all the time :-)

>I cant even look at those pictures without sunglasses.

"I wear my sunglasses at night" :-) Actually at night there is just a nice glow that makes the cabin feel "warm".

>where is the chrome steeringwheel?

I am leaving it silver as it ties in with the silver AC vents and silver gauge rings perfectly.. BUT, don't tempt me I have already thought of asking Wood Corp to change the silver area to chrome on my wheel... JUST KIDDING!!

Once I get my door armrests covered in black leather I will be done in the interior.
