If you can wait, we can handle it for you when you get the other goodies

Autocouture could do it for you. If you wanted to remove the full dash it is a VERY time consuming job. Removing just the trim however isnt so bad

yeah i tried to take dash off but don't want to break anything

so I figure that I'll just leave it alone for now

easy after doing it a few times haha.

Not the easiest to do but a little patience goes a long way. Some of the fasteners are a pain tho, especially near the heating controls

You need to get yourself a set of those plastic tools for removing trim, door panels. I took all my trim off to wrap it with matt carbon fiber.

Anyway the dash trim just pops off, the only thing to worry are the wiring for the ignition button and temp control. You'll need needle nose plier to reach the connector for the temp control dial, that is a pain in the ass.

Do a search I recall finding a complete DIY for this.

Good Luck.
