i just got done painting my interior...that piece has 2 screws underneath a small panel at the bottom of the handle cup, use a flat head to pop the cover off then remove the phillips head screws underneath. Then you kind of have to pull the piece up, towards and back. It's not tough to remove, might need to slide a screwdriver underneath near the door to convince it out.

its not quite color matched but its the closest that i have been able to find in a spray paint form... i wasnt to worried about it being exact because its inside the car and the colors are close enough that it isnt noticable.

im very possibly lookin at doin that that soon.. ive got a red 2.2 so i had the silver trim and light tan glove box and under dash. so far ive painted the trim red and glove box and such black, and i also did the trim along the floor at the door black as well, and im really happy with how it turned out.

Im not exactly sure how i want to go from here.... but something with the doors is next. I'm just not sure how to deal with the fabric like stuff by where window controls are supposed to be.
