Possible CF dash trim panels, how to remove stock?
 
Couldn't really word that subject any better XD

Basically, I have a friend who has a friend (Laugh now), who I know for fact has sheets of raw carbon fiber. Soft, pliable, and he is always looking to make parts. He has the resources to make molds and do vacuum forming, and I figure the dash pieces are relatively small, and should be as relatively easy.

Only question now is, are those two pieces (The dash trim, and radio surround) easy to take off? I could probably even coerce him into making it into a single piece...

Anyway, all I really need to know is, how the hell do those two pieces come off? I know someone has to have done it, hence my asking, and hopefully finding threads with pics, versus possibly prying and cracking my existing pieces XD

There are more than a few write-ups, you just gotta search a little. "doggy" on this forum has already done this. He removed both panels, stripped the faux carbon vinyl off (this was an FR-S; I believe the BRZ is just silver paint), and overlaid it with carbon fiber sheet and resin. It came out really good!
