How did you remove those panels? Do you think i can just use plastidip to make them black? Also the door handles haha

the radio and dash trim just pop right off. Just carefully pull up from the left corner of the radio trim with a flat head or a plastic pry tool and it'll unclip. Once thats off, you can just pull at the edge of the right side dash trim and it'll unclip. Just be careful with the yellow clips... they tend to come off and get stuck or fall behind the dash. Vent rings, if you have any fingernails to use you can just pull them off. I dont so i just carefully separated it with a flat head from the bottom. Door handles... you want to pry up from the bottom near the fake leather trim. Those can sometimes take a good amount of force though. Just be careful and try to pull it out one clip at a time. Plastidip should be fine as long as you let it cure properly and use multiple light coats so it doesnt get all bumpy and disgusting. I plan on doing that for the door handles to save 50 bucks.

I missed this before. I wanna see that or I might try it. Red is my favorite color, but I don't wanna be to flashy.

Those are not stock. Heated seats don't come in that trim. I also don't recognize that radio. The switches should look like this

The radio is a Pioneer Avic z140 and the switches are OEM from the 1st gen xB, Tc, xA

those take a bit more work to get off. You have to unclip the trim all the down by the carpet up front near the passenger side left leg and driver side right let, take off the radio trim, the shift boot/bezel assembly (just pops off by pulling up on it towards the front and unscrewing the shift knob), ebrake boot (also just pull straight up and it unclips), pull the trim part with the usb/aux port straight out and unplug the ports, remove 2 screws from under there, 2 screws by the shifter and 2 screws in the center console under the rubber part that lifts out and pull the entire center console up and back. Once all thats out, take out the 2 screws holding these parts in up by the stereo and that whole assembly pulls out. Those plastic parts are attached to the knee pads with a screw and some more clips.

I want to order these this summer and have them painted. My biggest issue is the trio of vehicle control buttons. Any ideas on precisely masking those? I guess that'll be the problem of whichever professional I have paint the buttons, but I'm just curious. Seems like a major PITA to not paint those symbols.

I guess I could create my own symbols? Or see if someone can make a sticker of those symbols and just overlay them onto the painted-over buttons? I guess I have options.
