How do I remove my instrument surround and side air vents?

I have already removed the center console (between the seats), The bumperette's, and my front spoiler for painting. I want to go for this look but in Seal Grey.

If you mean the surround around the Radio? That one is pretty easy. Just take a small butter knife and wedge it between the plastic and leather and slowly pry the console out. I found it easier to start prying from the bottom. It's only held in with clips, just be careful not to snag or scratch the console or dash.

Take pictures of your interior along the way. I have seal Gray also and interested in what it would look like.

If your center console was seal gray then Kirby would have it out in 10 minutes.

Wait - he already did it.

We put some artic silver trim parts in Armand's C4S on Saturday. Armand did not like the way the silver non smoker tray looked with his black leather console so I think he wants to get rid of it. Tell your artic silver cohort to get in touch with Armand if he does not already have it and wants it.
