No side vents yet. Waiting for those myself.

 

Too bad. Thanks for the info!

 

No problem! Just checked on the shifter ring and it is not available right now either.

 

whats the best way to pop out the mickey ring? im scared of snapping something. :(

 

Use something plastic, like a plastic knife to avoid scratching. Start at the bottom corners, where it connect near the console. This area has a small lip to get your prying tool in. Its all clips. Once you get a few poped loose use you fingers to work you way around mickey. I would suggest working around the bottom first, then use both hands/fingers to work evenly upward around mickeys face then ears. The hazard buttom is attached to the inside of mickeys head and has a clip in the wire. Getting it back on is alittle tricky. Make double sure you are aligned up straight before you start pressing mickeys clips back in. Ive done it several time and not broken anything. the first time it nerve racking.

 

ECS,

It looks like most of the parts are either not available yet or are backordered. Any idea when these items will be ready?

 

Hujan,


Mickey: 51459810000 available but will have to come from overseas
L Vent: 51459810003 available but will have to come from overseas
R Vent: 51459810004 available but will have to come from overseas
Shift Ring: 51169804630 on B/O should be available in the near future

Thanks

 

ECS, for what it's worth, I called and ordered the Mickey and received a phone call later from a person at ECS stating that my order has been cancelled as this product is not going to be available. Has the status of these items changed?

 

Excellent. Thank you for following up. I will be ordering them from you (pending the issue reported by the poster above).

 

I plan to replace "Mickey" in my 2012 CMsALL4 as well...if anyone is interested in seeing pics of the new parts in a 2013, here they are...

 

Just replaced mine. There is a bit of a gap between the dash and the new mickey. I am going to leave it like this for now, if I hear any creaks, I might go back to stock. We'll see.

 

Can you please post a pic of the gap. Im interestedin changing my mickey too.

 

yeah could you post pics of the gap? also did you get the trim in chrome or piano black? couldnt tell with the glare.

 

I don't understand your reference to piano black as a trim option. As I understand it the speedo and vent trim either comes with chrome trim or no trim at al.

 

I believe the following is true:

No chrome = "piano black" trim = Matte black trim

 

There is a piano black ring around the Speedo

 

unless things have changed in the past two years piano black is reserved for dash panels. With the exception of the tachometer which comes in matte black trim ring only the gauges and vents either come with a chrome trim ring or no trim at all.

 

Piano black is a glossy black finish.

 

Piano black = high gloss black. Not matte black.

 

Pic from ECS Tuning looks like a matte finish:



MiniLynsk's pic from page 3 looks glossy:



Clear as mud.

 

Where can I get the inner piano black trim for the tach & vents?

 

Its Piano black in the center , just look soft in the picture due to the white soft lighting.

MiniLynsk-

"Got from Ecs tuning. Piano black insert. Part numbers from a few posts up are correct."


Here is the black with chrome center:

Thanks

 

Is there anyone else that did this mod that can post a pic?

 

Changed out my 2011 interior ugly grey for the nice 2013 Matte Black.
My understanding is it is either available in chrome trim, which I went with since I had the interior chrome package or piano black (Gloss). Here is one picture...

I'm baffled by the confusion over the trim options for the speedo and vents. They are either plain black plastic (unless they are pre-13 in which case they are a grey silver finish) with no metallic-like ring OR they are fitted with a chrome ring (chrome package). Shiny "piano black" is an option for the dash (and doors) only which includes the pieces on either side of the center stack (ac controls etc.).
