For the center console trim on the dash, you need to remove the trim piece between the seats (where the shifter is), there are 2 screws underneath the glove box lid on that one, the rest are easy to find.

Now the center console trim has 2 on the left (near tach), 2 on right (next to the cushion) and the two on the bottom.

There is a torx head screw under the front ashtray/cupholder and the two screws in the storage compt. Once you get it loose lift back up slightly and slide it towards the rear 1/2 inch and it is out. Rather than pull the shift **** I just used phillips bit (no screwdriver) and unscrewed the 4 screws that hold the boot to bottonm of the console.

Just for reference, in the event that you do remove the trim, there are two screws on the front edge of the console trim under the center dash trim piece. The cluster trim on the left should be removed first, then the center dash trim, and then the center console trim.
