just finished my first mod, painting the radio bezel. im pretty happy with the result and cant wait to start painting other interior parts. here is a bit of a how-to/progress pics.
here we have the stock grid pattern bezel
need to pull this panel down
there we go
unscrew this screw
and this one
open up the cup holder and ashtray and pull out
undo the 4 or 5 wire harness'
if replacing the stock radio, undo the 4 screws on the corners
undo the 4 screws on the corners of the hvac control knobs and the 4 screws on the tray
drill out the plastic welds. and i cut the three welds on the top of the panel
sanded for the most part
primed, but i still needed to do a lot more sanding
