A screw came a bit loose as I suspected.

How hard is it to pop off those covers?

Bought a used center console and painted it red, because why not.

Not that difficult. I have a trim tool which makes the job simple. Just slid it between the dash and front of the cover, and slowly pull up to release the tabs. Then unplug the clip seen in the photo which attaches to the cover, and remove.

A flat head screwdriver with a MF or something soft would probably accomplish the same thing without damaging something.

Technically I didn't do it but a young girl rammed into me and pushed me into a truck's trailer hitch. So I have a nice speed hole in front now.

That's too damn bad -

I hope you are OK.

Neck is a little sore but I'll live.
Yeah it was maybe a 15-20 mph hit so not too bad. The truck in front was 100% untouched. Her car had a little of my paint on it but I scraped it off with my fingernail and it wasn't possible to know she hit me at all.
The crazy thing is just 3 weeks ago I bumped somebody in the front, same spot but maybe 5 mph hit, and got it repaired cash out my pocket but they did a horrible job because I went to a cheaper place to repair it.
I was just about ready to bring it back to the idiots and ask them for some money back so I could bring it to the dealers body shop and have it done correctly and this happened tonight. So instead it's all getting redone
but this time I'm bringing it straight to the dealerships body shop and I know they will do it 100% this time. New hood, new front bumper, new rear bumper, and probably trunk will do it. Trunk will not shut properly now.

Good to hear you are OK - I hope you stay that way.

Sounds like a Bubba technique -

And you are going to put that in your car?

I would like to see what the rest of your cars interior looks like -

Yea, next weekend I’m taking out my console and putting this red one in. I think it will look pretty good and match my red door handles nicely. I’ll upload a pic then.

painted my side skirts and installed them. Some imperfection close up but from a distance they look pretty good. Plus my car looks like it needs a wash.

Installed a mishimoto oil cooler this morning.

Installed my Vland taillights :

Before:

After:

A lot more understated than the Valentis I had before. Also seem of slightly higher quality than the speedline Valentis.
