Charlie's ///M Project Thread

OP - the CSL parts look great

How do you control the mirrors post CSL install?

I hope all is well Charlie

Good stuff Chuck

That carbon roof panel looks awesome. Man, that is really piquing my interest.

So what's their email contact? I will buy a sedan roof and send it to them for a mold...I have wanted a cf roof for a long time.

Stuart, you reroute the door mirror wiring so that it is run up thru the center console where the mirror switch is actually relocated. Since I will be taking out my entire interior in favor of reinstalling an all black interior, this is the time when I will be rerouting the door mirror control wiring. I know I have lots of work ahead of me but it's going into winter and my ///M is hibernating on the most part. Once the OEM CSL bootlid is installed, the ///M will be in full hibernation and that's when the "restoration" will commence... Just so you will have an idea where the mirror switch will be relocated, the pic below is from a CSL...you can see the mirror switch mounted on the CSL center console. Mine will be in the same position when complete...

These guys are located in the Schaumburg, IL area. Hope this helps! :thumbsup

cool

Tonight I began the messy task of cleaning my used black carpets that will replace the OE grey carpets in my ///M.

I just completed one good pass and got a lot of yucky dirt out.

I will now let the carpet dry for a day before doing a second pass...I started with the rear carpet thinking they won't be too dirty....I was wrong....pics were taken using my RAZR so not the best quality. Sorry about that...

The dirtiest part of this section was on the driver's side...

When I'm done they should be as good as new :thumbsup

At least modern sunroofs don't weigh that much. Sunroof vs slicktop on a 2002 is over 300lbs of difference

Charlie, I have noticed when cleaning my carpets that the area which will need the most cleaning is the flat to vertical turns at the trans tunnel/doors. Basically where the edge of the floormats sit and hold dirt in

I'll be sourcing a CSL carbon fiber 1x1 roof panel this month as well for my ///M :)

Yeah, I saw that as I was cleaning my carpet. This is why I'll be doing a second pass on Wednesday. Appreciate the heads up :thumbsup
