    The best way i found it was to lift up the bottom part near the drink holder and work your way up. Theres screws either side of the ciggi lighter and from memory they are all just clipped in from that you can just pull out. Also the screws in near the speedo. I sanded it first then used VHT plastic vynal dye and some clear coat on top. Didnt turn out to bad. Good Luck man
