This is a mod I plan in 2013 sometime. The stock Bose were probably good 10 yrs ago but are very average at best now. I can live with my lows in the vette thanks to the sub but the highs on my stock 2006 Sienna with JBL's blow the Vette away.

Any hardware store has them. They look like grill forks.
The Vette Essentials instructions (link below) for the door handles installation walks you through the door panel removal. I didn't need to use any special tool, I just pulled the door near the identified locations and it came off rather easily and the re-installation was just as easy.

You need to remove the door handle plug first, there are two torx screws to be removed before you yank on anything. After that, start poping from the bottom. A screw driver will work also, I was able to do mine without.
