I'm going to eliminate the glove box and the radio. My first thought is to get a flat piece of thin steel (like Porsche used behind the center piece of the dash) that extends from the steering wheel all the way over to the right side where the face ends, and cover that entire piece with the basket weave vinyl. Is that a decent way to execute this? If so, is it correct that it will "sandwich" between the dash top and the knee cap piece, as well as being glued? If so, can i slide it under the dash top or does it need to be removed?

trust me, leave the vent controls, to me they were a PITA to get out, and even worse to get back in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

They are surrounded by freakin' electrical tape on the face of the dash. I want to replace it with the basket weave vinyl. How do I get the metal piece out to cover it without removing the controls?

QUOTE(kenshapiro2002 @ Dec 14 2009, 02:44 PM) How do I get the metal piece out to cover it without removing the controls? Short answer: You don't ... You need to loosen the controls (Remember that 10mm nut?) and slide the controls out. You can get it out far enough without removing the cables etc.. as they're a pain in the rectum to put back on there. The chrome strip is held in by 4 tabs that you have to press down and then carefully pry on the chrome to remove it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Andy |
