Interior Kit - Installation?

I'm about to get my interior trim painted. This will include the pods and the dash - all the silver plastic pieces. Anyone know how to take apart the interior?

Do a search. Has been discussed before. I remember seeing an excellent thread.

Does anyone have the full instructions? Not on the FAQ page. I searched 13 pages of 'interior trim' posts and couldn't find them. I'm painting my own (or having them done), so I don't have the full removal instructions.

Thanks!

Thanks for the confidence!

What were you doing? Same thing?

I would still like a copy of the instructions, if anyone has 'em! How about the pods by the dashboard?

Yes I am having them painted black as well as several other things on the car also having the whole car cleared-sanded and buffed. Orange peel on black was driving me nuts

Here are the instructions I used. Photos only but a picture is worth a thousand words. Door bezels come off with a small screw drivers. Pretty easy once you see how it goes. Mine are supposed to be done today. so I can install them tomorrow

Mag red. That's part of why I'm not painting it myself. Requires this 3 part painting, I believe, and I'm not sure I'd get it right with a can of spray.

Yup, I've found that one. That site is excellent.

Tons of great pics / info. Too bad they don't have some text to accompany it.
