How do i remove the window switch/handle surround thing? I started to pop it off but the side closest to the door panel doesn't want to come off and I don't want to break it.

Also, how do I remove the two pieces of plastic on the steering wheel where the cruise control buttons are?

 

for the window handle thinger you want to look where you grab. in that area there is a black plastic cover that is sort of a pain to get out (you need to push in the tab and pull up) my best advice is to get a small flathead screwdriver and work with it. once you take the cover off there are two screws holding it in; take out the screws and it comes out simple

as for the steering wheel pieces there is a how-to.. Ill track it down for you because telling you is rather hard without pics

 

Thanks man, I'd appreciate it!

 

here you are with the steering wheel bezel removal.. its pretty simple

just outta curiousity, you painting your pieces or whats the story??

 

Thanks! and yeah, I just got my new head unit/sub/amp installed and while I had the dash pieces off I figured I might as well paint them, so I'm painting them a Satin Black - nothing flashy, just trying to make them blend in a little more with my black interior. and now I'm going to paint the steering wheel pieces and the door handle things. I'll post pictures of everything once I get it all put back together.

 

yea thats sounds like it should be nice! i always hate it when ppl leave out painting the bezels cuz then the project looks incomplete..

make sure you use a paint for plastic.. just an fyi cuz i didnt the first time then had to do it over a couple months later

 

Yeah, I'm using Krylon Fusion Plastic spray paint.

 

alrighty just checkin! thats the same stuff i used! works great
