trim pieces

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] LIke okay i read the DIY about how to paint the center piece around the cd player and stuff, but how do i get the ac vents off to paint those. Do i have to remove my whole dash, or is there some kind of secret method to paint them easily and I just don't know about it. Cause i really like the silver metallic dashkit they have at the honda dealer where i bought my 02 civ. But i don't wanna fork out like 300 bills for it. So whats the easiest way to paint my whole interior and how much would that run? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, watch the scredriver thing because if you do it wrong, you will have a real nice gash around the edges of the trim piece and stuff...the plastic is really chintzy...

the center a/c vent unit comes out as one piece,the two on the side is removable,wrap a flathead with maskin tape and pry open the tabs on all 4 corners and there is a hook on the top u need to pull away from.
