Removing interior trim dash panels
 
Anyone know how to remove the interior trim dash panels yet? I'm about to order some 3m Scotchprint to vinyl wrap it, but I figure it would be MUCH easier to wrap if I could pull the trim pieces off as opposed to wrapping the parts while they are installed.

Example shot.

It will be much easier to wrap with the panels removed. Most likely the trim is held on just by metal/plastic clips. There may be a few screws holding it in here an there but in all of the newer subarus the trim is held on by clips. Just look at the panel you want to remove very carefully and make sure it's not held on by anything obvious. If it isn't it's probably clips just pull.

Appreciate the input on this but I want to wait till someone actually tears apart their dash on this one first...

Check Juanitos journal, he already pulled the panels off and installed his aftermarket deck.

Is that the brushed black metallic? I really like that look.

That's just 3m Scotchprint with brushed graphite. The 1080 stuff, not the DiNoc (that's harder to remove from automotive finishes)
