1) it pops off, just got to pry at it for a while. Has a few clips holding it in

2) pops off. Just go near the front of the piece and pull from there

3) it pops off, just pull up.

4) the auto shifter plate has some screws holding it in place

Do they pop right back in?

The Stig · 12-23-2011, 05:44 PM

Yes. They are held in with clips.

Thanks!

I bought some plastic trim tools for jobs like this. Do not use metal tools. You will scratch stuff!

I bought these and I've used them a bunch.

There are four screws attaching the gauges to the trim piece. The screws are on the underside of the trim piece. You can't miss them.

Sounds like more carbon wrapping is about to happen.

Ok thanks man, what about the wire that holds it does that just come off too?

Sorry to jump in on this. But how do you remove the trim piece around the steering wheel? do you have to disconnect the battery to avoid airbag deployment?

yes from what i've read you have to disconnect the battery in order to prevent the bag from deploying, pop off the center piece, remove air bag and you should be able to remove the trim then. There's a DIY for this specific action somewhere

What is e exact process To prep these pieces for paint? Cause some are textured and some are a glossed smooth.
