I searched for this and could not find anything on it. i am looking to take the wood grain off to paint it and i don't want to break the plastic pieces. Does anyone know where i can find a tutorial for this.

for the fake wood on the doors, you have to take off the door panel. and for the radio and shifter, you just pop it out with a flat head screw driver.

no problem... when you take off the door panel, make sure your window is down.

if it's a 7g, you need to pop the shifter trim out,m then there are 2 screws that come out, also remove the ash tray. place the shifter in drive or oven low to get the dash trim out easily. other wise you risk creasing the side of the radio bezel. you'll need to un hook all the button, defrost, air circulation, ash tray light, cig lighter, light, power, and ground
As far as vents they just pop out, the gauge cluster has two screws in the top, buttons next to the steering wheel pop out
