Ive been wanting to do this also. I hate it when the sun catches the chrome and blinds me
Well ill try tonight.......i just hate it in general and gets dirty to easy
THIS!
The chrome around the vents in the center of the dash might as well be a mirror!
I hate that.
Looking forward to seeing pics.
Im pretty sure that almost everything just pulls off without tools. I have seen a diy write up that explained it all someplace but will have to dig to find it again.
*EDIT* this is how the chrome ring comes off once you get the vents out. I know on the 05-09 cars pretty much all the panels pop off without tools other than the airbag panel which has a few bolts on the bottom.

Im gona attempt without poping panels off i think they are cliped in without screws
Scratch that after looking at those instructions im gona have to pull the gauge cluster out at least
pulling everything off its EASY i pulled everything off to do my vinyl and it took me like 10 mins to pull everything apart. chrome around the shifter is plastic welded together so you will need a soldering iron to put it back right if you dont have a plastic welder. you could wrap all the chrome in vinyl w/o pulling anything out of the car.
Plastic welder......super glue.....same thing lol
I wanna see pics, I also hate the chrome....
Got it all taken out last night and got all the stuff prepped for paint......does anyone know how to take the airbag panel out? Id make it a lot easief getting it back together
I could plastic dip them but i think just reg paint will work fine here
Also thinking about painting the center chrome logo on the steering wheel but thats gona require a really good tape job

Just my 2 cents, I like the chrome plus I have the 401A interior wich does not have the aluminum dash panel so the chrome looks nice.
I have a base and dont have the alum dash panel ether so the black will blend better
YES..!!! This makes me want to punch the dash.......... This is the only complaint that I have with this car.......
you could always go ape shit with masking paper and just mask everything off:read::bash:
All the parts are painted and i just need to get them back in only thing i didnt paint was the center counsol button because it gets a lot of touching so may just fond some vinyl for that ill try and post pics up tonight
I like the chrome.. :dw:
