Matt - looks good!

How did you remove the center piece from the lower console? Its almost as if the factory superglues it to the base confused

PS: Make sure it fully cures before you re-install. I noticed you painted the air vents. The A/C will blow fumes all over if you dont!

I've removed them. I used a small watch screwdriver (flat head) and just pried it out. Then the plugs in the back just, well, unplug. wink They are a lot tighter than the empty plugs, but they do just pop out.

And the dash looks sweet!!

Looks really good. smile The clock and defrost switches can be dismantled once they are removed. You have to use a small flat jeweler's screwdriver to undo the tabs that hold it all together. the clock is fairly easy to take apart and I mean you have to literally gut it, same w/ the defrost switch. That or you have to get really good w/ masking tape.
