dnt know i just tweeded mine, i was sick of looking at it, right now im hoping to find a dash in good shape that i can sand and paint. i wish i knew how to fiberglass, cuz i would just do that instead.

but yea w/ the tabs basically do two at a time, preferably the two bottom tabs, then the two top then itll pop out easy...BE EXTRA CAREFUL W/ THE VENT TO THE FAR PASSENGER SIDE lol...just a word of caution

alright i got one more question about removing the lower part of the dash. how is the a/c controls held in? i got everything else diconnected i just dont want to break that...do the cables have to be diconnected or is there a way to just slide the whole panel out in one piece. i just need the plastic dash part so i can paint it. thanks again.

well its technically the a/c, its the whole panel for the temperature setting, where it blows to (feet, defrost, etc.) and the fan speeds...i think all the models came with that..just some didnt come with the a/c button. but all that is is just a wire to disconnect no big deal...i just dont know about disconnecting all the cables to make all that work...if i could just get the dash out and leave that part in there it would be better but i dont know if that is the case with it.

WHOOPS I MEANT TO SAY ITS TECHNICALLY NOT THE A/C. LOL...

BUT YEAH THE WHOLE DASH HAS TO COME OUT SO I CAN SAND ALL THE TEXTURE OUT OF IT AND PAINT EVERYTHING...THE SHITTY PART IS THAT BIG OL PIECE HAS TO COME OUT AND THERE IS ONLY LIKE 4 SPOTS THAT I NEED TO PAINT. I GOT THE PAD OUT LAST NIGHT..NOW ITS JUST THOSE TEMPERATURE AND FAN CONTROLS HOLDING ME UP.
