Smacked up my 04.. now i need advice...

Alright so i live in canada. I have the fiji blue 04 coupe.. and i was drivin long all minding my business and shi.t.. Well this damn snowdrift jumped out infront of me.. i was all "WTF ahh *swerve* but it was to quick for me and i hit it....

right..? thats believable right...

ok well i wsa turning into my driveway ont he ice and slid accross it intot he bank doing about 4k haha but it was 40 bellow out and the bumper shattered

so I'm getting a replacement

I am having them put on the BOSS front bumper instead heres a pic of the bumper


alriight thats good. now as for the grill im waiting to see what this looks like.

Now on to the inside of my car. I am having alarge number of interior parts painted when the bumper is done (saves me some cash)

but im having trouble removing the parts. dont really know what there called so It's more difficult to find guides.

ok firs tpart im confused on..
that rounded part behind the steering wheel. the smoth black ""runway"" type part running into my guages.. ??? how do i get this out?

I kow how to remove my centre console and the head unit area..
but i also plan to paint the driver/passenger vents how the HELL do i get them out? hahaha

and the inside door handles.. i assume are jsut the screws behind them false panels?

im currently thinking bout what parts of the door panels i want to paint if any?
thoughts?

oh here ill try to include some pics of the damage. but my host is being ghey.

oh any one got pics of doors? on the inside i wanna see what i should do to my doors

the gauge bezel has two screws up top, take them out, then just pull it out. it might feel like its gonna break, but it shouldnt. as for the door handles, they just have screws back there.
also, the part i would paint would be like the top part of the door panel, where the lock and the handle is. i dunno what your particular color theme is, but i would paint it blue and the lock and handle silver.

btw, weather is messed up lately, its like 10 or 15 below, but still sunny lol.

good luck with everything

well i had asked for bomex.. they told me allt hey could get was boss. they looked similair so i said meh and went with it. hope it fits ok :|

my problem with my doors is thata ny part of the door merges with my front dash when the door is shut. so if i painted those parts of the door when it was shut it would go blue to black onto my dash. i wish i could paint the whole dash but i jsut dont have that kinda cash ATM

how do i take the vents out?

thanks for the help silver
