i did the same thing to all of those trim pieces recently and i was shocked at how easy it was to remove all of them.

Shifter trim - grab up under the edge of the shift boot and just pull up, its held in with a few tabs. just give a little pressure on the first one and the rest come up very easily.

ac vents - reach a finger inside of each vent and hook the side and pull towards you, they slide right out, then the silver trim piece actually snaps off the vent itself

steering wheel - if you look behind the wheel on the hub, there are three small holes. take something small like a flathead screwdriver and push it in those holes, it will release a clip of some sort and youll feel the air bag come forward a bit. Release all three and you can lift the air bag piece out of the way enough to remove the two screws that hold in the trim

climate control trim - this one is the most difficult in my opinion because it requires the removal of quite a few other pieces. best bet is to look up in the DIY section - JDM knee pad install

also if you were curious at all, the silver trim on the door panels also pops right off. there is a small slot underneath each side where you can fit a flathead screwdriver, just pop it up and gently remove each clip from the bottom upward until you get to the top where there is a tab that slides in vertically. make sure not to bend that tab up top and it comes out easily.

hope that was helpful, and good luck with the plastidip. it makes the interior looks much cleaner in the end!
