Take out the glove box.
Remove radio and possibly the clock.
Remove center console.
Remove side panel.
Remove CLIPS, 7 on each side.
Use a flat blade screwdriver to spread open and pull out.
To install use pliers to squeeze in place.
The hardest ones are by the clock and radio.
Here is a picture and price from one of the suppliers.

You'll want to look at DZVette's article on dealing with the clips that hold the dash pad in place

Just a side note about those clips. As others have said using a small screwdriver to open them up some works great then I have used a small set of e-clip pliers to spread them the rest of the way for removal.
