Shifter bezel removal question

I am replacing the factory silver plastic shifter bezel later today and was wondering is it as simple as getting a tiny flat head screw driver under it and popping it out around the edges or do you have to get to it by taking the dash apart?

Replacing it with the black jdm shifter bezel.

(fyi...the bezel I am talking about is the round plastic thing that houses the traction control buttons.....

No screwdriver necessary. I just placed my hands near the top (close to the dash) and looped my thumbs down under the lip through the shift boot and pulled upwards and it popped loose with a little bit of force.

Get a soft plastic trim removal tool, it is very easy to remove.
